| Description (summary) | 2006-10-08 | cC | Fragmentary piece of house model. On the front is preserved the lintel of the door, emphasized by two lines of red paint. Also, there are two small circular holes in the two upper corners. Above the door there are two parallel lines of 13 small circular holes(8 above and 5 below), seperated by a red painted line, perhaps representing a second floor. The top of the model shows a possible roof gutter. The posterior part has the same decoration for the lintel but in this case it is overlapped by a line of five circular holes. Above these holes there is a figure painted in red which may be interpreted as a bird. There are decorations on the two sides of the model as well. Looking to the right of the side with a single row of five holes and the image of a bird there is a styilized human figure with spread arms and legs. To the left of the bird and 5 holes is another animal figure, perhaps a camel. The lower part is broken while the upper part has been intentionally cut for baking, a practice used for baking larger objects so that they do not break due to the heat. In fact, the upper portion shows a cavity for assembly with other pieces. The clay in section is a different color, so perhaps an anoxide cooking. [Input: Qx08fab.j] |
