The body of a vessel animal figurine. The head and the lower parts of the limbs are missing. It is difficult to determine the genus with accuracy, however, the shape of the body suggests that it might have been a pig or a boar. The top part of the body shows a hollowed depression where the liquid would be poured into the vessel. Two perforations are present on the chest area to pour out the liquid, one on top of the other. The higher one is a regular perforation, while the lower one is surrounded by a flat, smooth disk shape slightly protruding from the body. On both sides of the top perforation there are two incised circular decorative motifs. An interesting aspect of this figurine is the way the front left leg is represented in a forward position as if the animal is in motion. [Input: ZK115yM.j] |
