This photo shows a stone carving half-buried in rocky ground. The figure has a round body with carved patterns on its chest and a long, scaly tail. Its head is turned slightly, and its front paws rest on a flat rock. The carving looks ancient and weathered, sitting in a rough, uneven landscape. It’s hard to tell what the creature is supposed to be, but the details are sharp despite the wear. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
