| Title |
Dog Head |

| Object type | sculpture | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
This dog's snarl and protruding fangs lend him a sinister expression. Although pierced for suspension, the head seems too large and fragile to have been a pendant. Press-molds, used to create the dog's face and ears, were commonly used in the Gulf Coast region, where asphalt occurs naturally and was applied to pottery as a paint after firing. |
