Notes on support and decorationsBronze statuette of a probably one-humped camel (dromedary), in standing position. Indeed the two protuberances on its back in all likelihood represent the saddle. The animal head is raised and only sketched. The legs are joined at their bottom by a horizontal rod. Hollow-cast.
This statuette, for the saddle shape, is comparable with BM 1992,0623.3.
