From a jagged bottom edge, the circular-sectioned neck angles upwards, the sides splaying into the forward-facing head, the central aperture emerging at the point of the animals open jaws. Only one eye has been portrayed, this created by punching a single sub-circular indentation, with an angled groove above representing an eyebrow. The creature has rounded cheeks and a pointed snout.Length: 65.5mm; maximum width (head): 28mm; thickness of head (height): 22.1mm; weight: 76g.
