Description (summary) 2001-06-24 lR Gray clay piece pinched and formed into a triangular shaped artifact. [Input: L708SV.j]
2001-06-25 rAH Although this object might be taken for an anomalous work in progress, I believe it relates to the HUMANOID corpus. The object is terminated below the (presumed) shoulders. There may be an indication of a chin and several passes of a necklace. There are parallel incisions (shallow and much abraded) across the chest. Some form may be seen along the termination -- ether an elongated animal figure or a leg. Termination is concave, and the technique is reminiscent of the pinching of some of the tokens at Mozan.

Preservation 2001-06-25 rAH head (or headdress) missing, otherwise intact. Perhaps in progress. [Input: N206RAH.j]
Notes on typology 2001-06-25 rAH The head of the object is reminiscent of much earlier humanoid figures, but only because of the deformation of such objects (I'm thinking of Halafian female figurines.). [Input: N206RAH.j]
2001-06-25 rAH Although the details of the object are far from elaborated, one might also see the frequently encountered image of a female cupping or covering her breasts. Seen this way, the entire head of the object is missing. [Input: N206RAH.j]
2001-06-25 rAH FINE, HEAVY CHAFF TEMPER [Input: N206RAH.j]
