RIC 176 GOBL 728z CUNETIO 1357 CMR 10aa5 Var
At first glance you will might think this is another standard right standing doe looking left. However the front legs are the wrong way round to most other examples, the fore leg on this example being behind the far side leg (rather than to the front). This variation is not shown in types in the Cunetio in figure 9 Appendix 5. Nor does there seem to be any distinction made in Gobl between the two variations. Differences of a similar nature are show in the doe type and other types so one would assume that this variation was not found in the Cunetio Hoard nor in any of the reference sources for Gobl. Possible making it rare or at least uncommon. During my research I found 2 other examples.
