Mortuary Figure of the Zodiac Sign: Boar (Pisces)
A gray earthenware figure of a robed standing person with a boar's head, hands folded in long sleeves, shown in three-quarter view. Traces of red pigment and pale slip mark the robe, and the worn surface gives the figure a rough, weathered look.
Look closer: Traces of red pigment on the front edge of the robe.
