Limestone dog
Not on view
Dogs were a popular subject on Cypriot terracottas of the sixth century B.C., but in later periods they are usually shown in association with deities such as Artemis, goddess of the hunt. This large dog, seated at attention and with a collar around his neck, may have represented a faithful guardian in a tomb.
