Yes, sort of. Nobody is saying this was a mammal, though. It was a therapsid, an ancestor of the mammals.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapsid The significant thing, which I had not appreciated, is that therapsids were already a lineage distinct from the dinosaur - bird lineage, right back in the Permian. By the way, sculptor's picture bears an uncanny resemblance to one of those old man characters in the Muppets, don't you think? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
