The body-join is herbivore, solidly founded. The knee-joint may be expressed below the break in the legs. There is a slight taper to the knee joint from where this piece would join the torso.The legs are circular in section. There is a light incision from the top of the [presumed] rump to where the legs join. The tail, if tail it be, is abraded; yet it appears terminated and rather full.

There is no appreciable curve to the hindquarters where they join the legs, making this identification problematic. The break from the torso is clean, vertical, a rather unusual detail as regards the AK corpus; usually, at least a portion of the torso remains with the hindquarters,as they are formed of a single piece of clay.

There is some danger in applying the AK typology to this find; it must be taken as a starting-point only for interpretation.

Notes on typology |
1998-7-22 | rAH |
In all likelihood, the orientation applied in this interpretaton is correct or at least plausible. Another view would see this piece as the back of a muzzle with broken horns. In such a case, the piece would not be well-founded.
