Ornitomorphic figurine
An item of a figured sub-triangular shape. It looks like a large flying bird with outstretched wings. The item is made on a blade of silicified tuff.
Manufacturing technique
The item is made on a blade of irregular shape. Along the contour, we can see traces of a treatment made with multi-faceted retouch. The retouch is forming the basic contour.
Use-wear traces
Use-wear traces are not found. There are some traces of a light polishing on the outer surface (probably, as a result of keeping the item in a pouch).
