Description
ceramic, beige clay, painted in dark red and cream white,
Stylised figures with tubular arms and disc-shaped earrings. The male figure has a pair of peculiar mushroom-shaped horns, which, according to van Bussel, identify him as a shaman (Leyenaar, 1992, p. 293). The horns may have been made from bound strands of hair.
