Definition 2001-06-11 lR ^ figurine [Input: L818LR3.j]
Description (summary) 2001-06-11 lR Head of a ram figurine, circular curving horns, broken at the neck [Input: N129LR.j]
2001-06-25 rAH OVIS I, ram's head. Compare with bitumen-repaired Ovis head 58 (A7.308); eye treatment of this example is an impression with a dot in the middle whereas the earlier figure has appliquéed discs for eyes. The raised disc may have been abraded away in this example. Placement in the caudal section of the head is coincident, all the same. The muzzle is considerably longer here and a useful diagnostic tool; it is a rounded rectangle in section. The horns are large and curve down behind the eye-disc (visible only in left median plane). Horns meet atop the crown in a V. [Input: N206RAH.j]
