Notes on items 2014-03-30 rAH    The rounded contours of this representation lead me to say that this figurine is an example of Ovis TYPE I, that is to say an animal raised for its wool. The rounded contours of the dorsal section (V21d7703) support this contention. In the main, the ratios hold, particularly that between the torso and the hindquarters. Of the nine photographs in the primary documentation only three print, thus this identification must be considered provisional. [Input: Y401JW1.j]
