The fragment is curved and the end of the foot is v-shaped; there is a punched pattern on both sides of the fragment. The pattern depicts an animal in profile with the v-shaped end forming an open mouth. The punched decoration marks out the mouth, an oval eye and an ear flowing back from the eye and the suggestion of fur on the neck. The break appears to have occurred in antiquity.
