Finial Surmounted by a Gazelle
Greenish metal sculpture of a gazelle with large horns. The gazelle's body is in a walking or running position, with the left front and back legs bent and crossed over the right front and back legs. The head is lowered and pointed to the right. The sculpture has a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging and wear, including a green patina and red spots. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom, with a shadow cast to the left. The sculpture appears to be an ancient artifact.
