Always a delightful piece. 🥰 Only the photo in the excavation report shows the real thing. Other versions are good modern replicas including the one on display at Lydney. Some great extra info from @brittunculus.bsky.social in the comments.

A probable votive offering found in 19th century excavations at the sanctuary of Nodens, Lydney, Glos. A highly accomplished bronze figurine (10 cm long), perhaps of an Irish wolfhound or sighthound whelp. (Wheeler Plate XXV )
See Alt. For more.
