Figure consisting of a pair of conventional human legs surmounted by a large disc elaborately decorated on both sides with deep grooves and shark's tooth decoration. From this disc a kind of elongated triangle emerges at the end opposite where the legs are joined. At the latter point a kind of broad tail runs out behind, serving as a kind of support to the figure. There is a hole pierced between the two legs about three-quarters of the way up. Brown ware with burnished self-slip. (Reconstructed)
