Commentary

Bronze statuette in form of a panther.
Find spot Sanzeno, but find circumstances unknown. Length 7.2 cm, height 5.7 cm.
Smooth dark-green patina.
Only one half cast, the back side is not sculptured. The mouth is broken and perforated. Intentionally shortened feet, curved tail.
On the back and chest area probably remains of an inscription.
The state of preservation does not allow any indication like date or classification of working.
