What context were they found in? Were they all hanging from something? (I’m imagining a carousel of dogs. IDK why.) What do the long pieces that connect to their backs represent if they aren’t just decorative?
Are they ornaments that were attached to something?
Are they dogs or horses? Were they meant to be cheek decorations for the horses’ bits?
