Description:
This small toy was made from two mold pieces sealed together. The toy is beginning to split apart along the attachment points, at the ears and down the back. It is fully intact with a mouth, eyes and a decorated tail. The inside is likely hollow because the piece is relatively lightweight. There is some light coloring on the neck.
