Description	The cockerel is three-dimensional and is depicted standing with its head slightly turned to the right. The head is roughly oval in cross section. The beak is missing and the facial features, namely the eyes, are fairly crudely executed. The cockerel has a worn crest on the top of his head. An incised band seperates the neck from the body. The main body is oval and a horizontal ridge half way down on either side marks the extent of the wings. The tail is raised up and is triangular when viewed from behind, decorated on the surface with a series of ridges. On the back of the body in the centre is an integral loop set on the same plane as the cockerel's body. The legs are depicted as one solid cylinder terminating with a slightly domed disc-shaped base (PAS).
