Pendant with an ornament
An item made of antler in the form of a thin blade with an elongated drop shape. Its extended end has a light sharpened protrusion, its narrowed end is smoothed. Below the hole, there are small shallow ledges ("shoulders").
On the front side of the plate there is a drawn transverse dashed line. Next to it, there is a vertical wavy line abutting an open rectangle. In the upper part, a triangle is depicted (ear-?). In the lower part, there are some dots. The whole composition shows us a zoomorphic image of a predator. On the both sides of the hole, there are some small nicks which can serve as channels for fastening (sewing).
The back side is slightly concave.
The item was found in a burial of a child of 5-6 years old.
