This bas-relief wasnt made of clay and it is not even rectangular. Cthulhu does have a pulpy, tentacled head, but its body, though definitely grotesque, doesnt look scaly, and its wings are far from being rudimentary. It doesnt look like an octopus, a dragon or a human caricature. And hieroglyphics are nowhere to be found. Yet, curiously, this is the way my friend Philippe Dougnier and I imagined Wilcoxs bas-relief, back in the mid-1980s. Philippe drew a rough sketch on a piece of paper, and I sculpted it on a piece of sandstone found on the beach of Les-Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (France). I suppose I should call this specific stone protosandstone since it is basically made of freshly aggregated sand grains. Some are almost as hard as limestone, while others are more fragile than pieces of wet chalk.
