The style and decoration of this small plaque resemble three-dimensional versions of Corinthian animal-shaped vases. The articulation of the animal’s fur with glaze dots and lines is a feature often found on Corinthian examples. Corinth produced such plastic vases in great numbers in the forms of animals, mythical creatures, and human figures.
