Description (summary) 2001-06-24 lR Tiny animal figurine [Input: L707SV.j]
2001-06-25 rAH CARNIVORA/ URSUS (TENTATIVE) torso. MINIATURE. The orientation of the animal is important, although there is a good typological basis for reading the figurine as a bear. See URSUS 403 (A1.79) and 405 (A6q487.1). Also, the "cranial" detail would seem to represent, eyes and mouth. The hindquarters are relatively high and the breakage slices across them, making it difficult to read. The forequarters meet in a wide inverted V (90°). The foreleg/body join is 115°. The forequarters are contained within a rather narrow inverted u, almost solidly founded. This is not the manner in which forequarters join the neck or a typical head/body join, although Ursus neck/body join is not unlike this figurine. [Input: N206RAH.j]

Notes on typology 2001-06-24 sV animal figurine [Input: L818LR3.j]
2001-06-25 rAH I should note that when I started to measure the figurine, I took the forequarters as hindquarters, so the interpretation is truly tentative, albeit intriguing. [Input: N206RAH.j]
