- Comment:
- This (male?) votive figurine has a short cylindrical head and a flat legless body with a cylindrical and hollow trunk slightly splayed at the lower edge. The figure wears a pointed hat with a pellet of clay on top and a rim broken off at the front. The face is indicated by a pinched nose with round dabs for eyes. The shoulders are large and the arms are bent at the elbows to support a flat small animal clasped against the chest. Incisions at the ends of the hands indicate fingers. The small animal faces right (Tomabechi 1984: 3).
