As this figure is from Khabur levels, usage may in fact change. Certainly the manufacture and fabric is different than the corpus from the Royal Building. [Input: N206RAH.j] |

This is a problematic object because it is so fragmentary. Re-oriented, it might even be the horns of a large caprid, although no other details indicate the Genus, and the caudal join at the crown would have to be quite narrow. A typological parallel might be the rider and horse from Chuera that is displayed at the Damascus Museum in Case 26; acc #2476, although the "fork" of the rider is quite lower in the Chuera figure. Further research would be necessary to determine if the levels are in fact coeval; our object is from Khabour levels. The Chuera figurine is, if I am not mistaken, from Ur III levels. Check also more exact parallels of the form with the equids/riders of Tello/Girsu. [Input: N206RAH.j] |
