Mechanical dog, Ancient Egypt, ca. 1390–1352 B.C. (New Kingdom), part of Metropolitan Museum’s collection

This leaping hunting dog can be made to open and close its mouth using the lever beneath the chest. Originally secured by means of a thong tied through the hole in the back of its neck and two in the throat, the lever was later attached with a metal dowel in the right shoulder. When the mouth is opened, two teeth and a red tongue are visible.
