This sculpture dates back to the thirteenth century, however, the exact time of it's creation is shrouded in ambiguity. The sculpture is Roman in origin and conceptually deals with the culture's mythology. I love the haunted nuance to the mother dog's expression and such fine details as the ribs straining against the cool stone skin. I also am intrigue by the stylized texture of the mother dogs neck: a necklace? Scruffy fur? It add some interest to the piece visually, and provides some food for thought.
