The excavator identifies these three fragments as part of the same figuring leg. It is an object fragmented in three pieces; not baked, I would wager. Does it resemble in form a column? Certainly, the object bears none of the definition of a "figurine leg," as the excavator surmises. There is neither muscular definition of the haunches nor is there articulation at a possible "knee-joint." This seems to be merely a pellet or possibly a cylindrical token. Illustration V21d4710 shows three segments; are the top two the obverse of the upper fragment? If so, this token/object might be assembled from 2-3 "rods" of clay; a rather unusual detail.
