Greek, Eastern Mediterranean late 2nd–1st century BCE
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.
