The small, four-legged figurine is carved out of stone, but it's unclear which animal it depicts.

        Ye i mean super-duper cereally: who said it wasn’t the carver’s intention to make it so very unclear that a child’s fantasy can turn it into whatever animal it wants. It’s a multifunctional children’s toy

      Sven: Man, Olaf, that’s a great cow!

      Olaf (blinking away tears): thanks. (sobbing quietly): it’s a bear.

    Can they clean it off a bit? It looks like one of the mud cookies my sister used to make when she was 3.
