The excavator's contention that this may be a human figurine is interesting. This must be based on the joining of the two columnar forms in V22d3607, which might be taken to be the legs of a standing figurine. In the main, however, contemporaneous figurines of humanoids do not separate the legs sculpturally. They are rather part of a columnar representation, divided by an incision or indentation indicating a separation of the two members.
V22d3606 seems to show a termination that is part of the original manufacture. I am perplexed; how the separate images relate is problematic and to be determined. [Input: Y401JW1.j] |
