Full Description
1960.
Part of pipe clay figurine in field.
Examined by [1] who states that the 'fabric of the object .. seems quite consistant with its being part of a pipe-clay figurine of the Roman period'.
No parallel in British Museum or in (S1).
Resemblance to neck of a pigeon (S1) 'not possible to say if fragment part of a bird or not'.
