human figure

The inventory of anthropomorphic figures includes both realistic and highly distorted objects. The unusual number of toes and fingers indicates supernatural attributes of the inventoried object. Quilter (2000: 187, Fig. 9.8) reproduces a similar figure from the Keith collection. Hartman (1901: 188f., figs. 480, 481) and Stone (1968: fig. 9d) present almost identical metalwork, the inlets of which were positioned above the ears. (Künne 2005)
