content: Style: Effigy Element: Handle, lug or tail part of side of vessel Shape/Form: Puma Manufacturing Notes: Tool marks very vague. Face is disproportionately large comp to body. 4 legs realistically modeled w/ paws exhibiting 4 toes. Large tail connected to flat semi-elliptical handle. Face turned slightly toward left and mouth has been carved out. Mouth and snout are damaged. Design: Large eyes for inset. Bowl sides have concentric rings done below handle. Surface Modification: Carved Residue: Resin maybe (but how would one tell since its been treated.) Comments: So the piece was part of a wooden vessel which was incised around the perimeter.
