Llama
(Ancient Americas )
The eyes of the llama protrude from the head, with eyelids partially drawn in a very realistic manner. The mouth and nostrils have been carefully engraved on the snout. The torso and limbs may suggest the llama is an adolescent (a cria). The toes of each foot are clearly rendered, as are the reproductive organs.
