This is a 40 cm long bison with the back part deeply carved, a threadbare tail, four legs and the line of the abdomen - the parts, in other words, where the animal's hair is the shortest. The rest of the animal is covered with an abundance of much finer, structured lines, which would appear to be an expressionist representation of the shaggy mass of hair that covers the bison's forequarters, especially in winter. The figure seems to be saying: "a bison is a clearly defined rear, and after that, all hair".
An eye has been finely carved at the front of the scored part. A long horn emerges from the same area and continues outside the scored area.
