Glass pendant

Greek, Eastern Mediterranean

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

Translucent honey yellow.
Solid, vertical pendant, with mold marks running around sides, top, and bottom; suspension loop on back between shoulders and neck.
Shaped like a seated furry animal with pointed nose and ears.
Complete, except for proper left ear; dulling and slight weathering.

The identification of the animal as an Egyptian jackal may add support to the belief that such figural pendants were made mainly in Ptolemaic Egypt.
