Tabloid
late 8th or early 7th century B.C.
Two recumbent animals, inverted, with irregular geometric patterns in the field. One animal appears to be a goat with head turned back, and the other a dog(?) facing forward. Back carved to form two convex rows separated by a double-ridge in center, and two ridges at ends.
Pierced through the short side; the face flat; the back is carved to form two convex rows separated by a double ridge in the center and two ridges at the ends; the profile resembles a bead-and-reel pattern. Half of the back is broken away.
