Figurines

from archive report

A large number of figurines were found this year. Particularly impressive are two large humanoid figurines from Building 17, the heads of these had been deliberately broken before they were deposited. These heads had lots of small pierced holes in them, which probably held material meant to look like hair or a head-dress (as shown below).


Figure 20: Figurine found in Building 17, South area, with an imaginative reconstruction of how it may have looked if the holes in its head were used for decorative purposes.
