This Egypto-Roman statuette representing a tigress in the act of springing forward, was probably made in the third or fourth century. The treatment of the forms is characteristic of that of bronzes of the Roman period. This was apparently used as a handle; a late Roman ivory pyxis with bronze mounts has a similar leaping animal as a handle on the lid.
