# Figure

The top of this ivory figure has a tenon (a projecting piece). This suggests that it originally acted as some sort of support, possibly as one of a group of throne legs. The bulging eyes, flame-like mane, fangs and distinctive rearing pose are all typical of interpretations of the yali (or vyala) at that time.

- **Kind:** artefact
- **Date:** 1600–1800 CE
