Head of a panther with slightly elongated neck, damaged in the muzzle area. Panther has raised his head and is looking upward.

Ears of the animal are also precisely designed, as well as part of the muzzle which has been preserved. According to analogous sculptures and performed spectroscopic analysis, head of the panther belongs to composition with the satyr (inv.no. 991/P), where the panther is shown by the satyr’s left leg and is looking up at him.
