Definition 2004-07-07 gm figurine [Input: O707GM2.j]
Description (summary) 2004-07-07 gm Almost entire human figurine, masculine; the body has the shape of a bell, with the base concave; male genitalia have been put in evidence (maybe anthropomorphic fertility image?). the top part of the figurine shows the beginning of the arms, and a little and stylized head. surfaces aren't well shaped, still a little rough. [Input: O707GM2.j]
2018-03-15 yM male anthropomorphic figurine with a wide oval base on which it stands. The head and both arms are broken off. This figure probably represents a male fertility symbol due to the depiction of exaggerated male genitals. The surface of the figurine is very rough. This lack of smoothness and roughness was probably intentional, as they did not lack the technique and the knowledge, nor the tools to make the surface smooth. It was rather intentional to emphasize the masculinity of the representation. [Input: ZK226yM.j]
