content: Original Catalog Number: 2700 Style: Effigy Element: Complete but fragmented. Shape/Form: Human Alteration: Chemical Manufacturing Notes: Tool marks or such have been obliterated by deterioration of the surface. 3 incised lines around a raised collared rim. These dip down to become concentric half circles around the human effigy and the handle. Design: Head facing out from 1 side - flat handle on other. Surface Modification: Polished, incised Symbols: Human face, concentric rings. Residue: Spot of dull brown sediment on figure's neck. Use Trace: Badly broken - perhaps was ritually killed. Refits: Consists of 13 fragments refitted and held with epoxy. Comments: Human head is only 3 cm wide and 7.05 cm high. Rises 4 cm above rim. Features modelled in relief but they are very faint because of the surface erosion. In spots the orig surface is visible, and where so, it is highly polished. Head has ears, and hair bun or ponytail modelled on the sides and back of the head. Facial features include low nose, what may have been an open mouth, and faint eyes. The neck protrudes from the side of the bowl like a figurehead on a ship.
