Surface Modification: Incised, excised Symbols: Spider, raccoon bindings, human leg w/ talons. Residue: Basket impression on outer right side of fragment. Comments: Add concentric circles, probably crossed for the thorax, and a tail to the spider. An interesting adaptation of multiple motifs. It almost appears as if the spider abdomen is being worn as an apron by a spread-eagled man with bird feet.
