Fragmentary Figurine of a Lamb
View through Harvard Museums
Front part of a figurine depicting a lamb or young sheep reclining with its legs tucked under the body; the back of its body is broken off. There are the remains of a hole pierced horizontally through the animal at the nape of its neck, so the figurine could be worn as an amulet.
