Definition 2002-08-14 sB ^ figurine [Input: N304LR.j]
Description (summary) 2002-08-14 sB lower half of a human figurine, the back of the figure is fractured suggesting that the figurine was not modeled in the round but in relief over a flat surface [Input: N304LR.j]
2002-09-12 MISSING Clay plaque fragment of a female body, which appears to be made from a mold since the figure is pressed into the clay, with the sides smoothed down and extending out. The figure is broken, retaining the waist down including the legs and feet, a thin waist 1cm wide then curves out into full hips 2.5 cm wide, then tapers into a smooth "v" to the ankles. The feet are flat, pointing out and extend 1.5cm out. There is a space in between the legs of .4cm. A small orange red dot is painted for her belly button and below she has a painted belt with tassels or extensions coming out (also red in color). The pubis is also painted and contains a line that outlines the inner area clearly defining her vagina. The feet are painted in the same orange-red paint 1.7cm up from the ankles suggesting shoes and there are lines painted on the both sides of the flattened extensions of the plaque. The plaque is broken at the sides so one cannot tell the design of these lines. The back is rough and broken. [Input: N116LR3.j]
