Object card for figurine SAL_4254, square K VI/β5, area south of the rampart, Salamis, Cyprus: a solid-modelled quadruped figurine, missing its head except for the ears, in red fabric with a grey-white slip, preserved height 4.9 cm. Although solid-modelled rather than pinched, the animal is partly comparable to the pig type, because of the tail arrangement, the ears drawn out from the legs in exact continuation of them rather than from the head, and, from the anterior break, the apparent absence of a neck. Inventory Tc_1523; 25 September 1968.

French, as on the record

num planche : PL_06 carre : K VI/β5 objet : Figurine sans Moulage forme : Quadrupèdes type :Animaux caracterique : Quadrupèdes sans caractère particulier diapositives : C_4219 inv objet : Tc_1523 inv tessons : Tc_1523 negatif : 00683_03 pub : SAL_PUB_139891_XII_CAT_12_0074_p_0033 Incomplet : manque la tête, sauf les oreilles. Pâte rouge + engobe blanc gris. Modelé plein. H.cons. 4,9. Bien qu'étant modelé plein et non modelé plié, cet animal est à rapprocher, en partie, du type porcin pour plusieurs raisons : la disposition de la queue, celle des oreilles qui ont été étirées non pas à partir de la tête, mais à partir des pattes dans leur exact prolongement, enfin, d'après la cassure antérieure, l'absence apparente de cou. chantier : Zone au sud du rempart
