Description (summary) 2008-08-16 sNP head of an animal figurine, snout and ears preserved. Possibly a cow, but a dark brown band painted across his snout may suggest to identificate it as a horse. Also, bridle can be suggrdt by a jutting out line of clay under its throath. The lower part of this animal head is concave shaped, which suggest that the item could have been applied on a clay vessl or other object. [Input: S818SNP.j]

Notes on items 2014-03-30 rAH    Of 12 photographs referenced in the documentation only six can be accessed. Photographs V21d4816-V21d4818 both in form and surface treatment do not relate to the photographs following. Presumably these three photographs are the base of the object, but that is uncertain. In the second entry under "description", the researcher speaks of "a very smooth fragment of stone." How this relates to the artifact depicted in the rest of the photographs is problematic.
   The "dark brown band painted across his snout" is visible in the V21d4828, although it is not possible to tell from the photograph exactly how it was applied, or where it was applied. And why the researcher feels that the dark brown band may suggest a horse is open to question. Perhaps the band was taken to be a bridle? [Input: Y401JW1.j]
