A glossy ceramic sculpture depicts a seated spaniel in profile facing our right, finished in a mottled pattern of chocolate brown spots over a tan and cream base. Raised, rounded bumps texture the body and long, drooping ears to represent curly fur, smoothed to a high-gloss sheen. A short tail curves upward at the back, while small dark spots define the eyes and nose. Along the bottom, a raw beige edge remains visible.
