Rubbing table

Small, decorated grating table. The object consists of a round base and four cylindrical legs. The slightly concave worktop shows no signs of use. Its edge is decorated with trapezoidal applications all round. The deep sculptures were not engraved. They probably represent stylised, anthropomorphic heads. The four massive legs of the object remain undecorated. One support element is fragmented. (Künne 2005) Further information on the social, symbolic and cultural significance, as well as the find context and periodisation, could not be integrated into the long description due to technical problems at Museum Plus.
