Dog
Late Dynasty 18, ca. 1400-1350 BC
Ivory
Accession # 40.2.1
This leaping hunting dog can be made to snap its mouth using the lever beneath the chest. Originally secured by means of a thong tied though the hole in the back of its neck and two in the throat, the lever was later attached with a metal dowel in the right shoulder. When the mouth is opened, two teeth and a red tongue are visible.
