as a tentative suggestion: this may be a sun-baked clay human figurine with a flat back surface. Only the bottom half of the figurine remains. The limbs are crudely represented, and perhaps telling from the lump of clay protruding from what may be the genital region, it is a male. The legs are shaped as rounded lumps with an indentation down the center to separate the two limbs. Another feature appears around what may be the stomach area. This may represent a hand positioned over the stomach, in the manner of certain "pained" figurines found at Nippur. [Input: S811LR2.j] |
