    Moriage looks like what you get when you squeeze cake icing out of a tube--a thick line. This is relief.

    Kind of interesting on the bottom!! I enlarged to 2X and tried to clarify what I saw....when what looked like a BIRD with an angled CROSS across it's chest popped out at me???? It's not WELL defined, but, on the right side and I can't figure out what's on the lower section of the so called "bird".......and maybe it's nothing, but I see it!! Maybe just an artist adding their own personal 'touch'??? LOVE the piece!!!!

    It may be the word Amphora. Otherwise, a glob.

    The ears aren't terribly long, but the overall 'stature' just looks more suitable to a mule, it's wearing what looks like part of a work harness, and his legs are a bit shorter, but then it could be "artistic license" too!!! I'll vote 'mule' IMHO!!! Horses generally have finer lines.....
