Anthropomorphic figurine 1

The anthropomorphic figure is made on a flat blank of an ivory flattened blade. The head is quite large, oval, narrowed to the bottom but less than №382 is. Arms are thin, elongated along the body. Holes are made in the axillary area.


Manufacturing technique

The preservation quality of the surface is bad. The entire inner surface has traces of treating with a burin with a wide edge. The mouth is made with the back and forth movement. The holes are made with a reamer from the back side. There are traces of a planning knife work when making the shoulders. The arms and the legs are made with a knife. The edges along the contour are probably treated with a push-plane. The item is grinded on fine-grained abrasive from the front side. The flattening of the eyelids is made with a burin with a wide edge. Eye-sockets and upper parts of eyelids are made with a cutting tool. The nose base is made with a burin. The burin is as wide as nose wings. The inner part is made with a cutting tool. The crotch between legs is done in the same way. Then the manual drilling was made probably with a reamer from both sides.
