Definition 1999-06-26 ab figurine [Input: J715AB.j]
Description (summary) 2018-03-15 yM left part of an anthropomorphic female figurine’s hip. The waist is very thin and the hips are wide which gives an extremely feminine shape. The pubic triangle is represented, with deep small vertical incisions to schematically indicate the pubic hair. The hip was probably made using the molding technique where the artist would mold the two side separately and then join them together. [Input: ZK226yM.j]
