Description

UE III: the hunter and the ibexes. His arms are the dagger and what is generally called a curved club but is more probably a reed shield. He wears a skirt of fleecy material. One ibex seems to have caught a foot in a snare, and its head is violently thrown back. Leaves and stones (?). Clay sealing. Baked and shellacked post-excavation. Fragment with unclassified designs, showing mostly men and animals.
