Description | The reverse side is flat and unmarked, showing no remnants of provision for attachment. . . Prominent features of the effigy include the eyes, also the broad flat face with pointed jaw, the elaborate 'hairstyle' and a row of impressions running close to the base of the object - possibly representing a beaded necklace. Date uncertain (Adkins) |
