2026-02-09 yM The head and neck of an animal figurine, most probably an equid. The neck is smooth, the ears are small and pointy. The mouth is depicted slightly open. The hair of the mane is not represented. However, the main is represented by a vertical depression on one side of the neck, forming an elevated edge, which gives the impression that the mane hair would have been flipped to that side. The majority of the face is covered with a bridle, made from an applied piece of clay, and decorated with incised circular shapes. [Input: ZK115yM.j]
