Terracotta figurine with feral snout found in Servirola of San Polo d' Enza (Reggio Emilia).
The statuine is high around 4 centimeters, vaguely anthropomorphic and molded by hand. It represents an apparently monstrous being, halfway between the human and the feral, with zoomorphic head (of dog or wolf), or wearing a mask, standing, ithyphallic and with a tail just sketched.
