| Notes on support and decorations | Bronze statuette of a standing one-humped camel (dromedary) which is heavily corroded. Both legs are broken, exposing the low-fired reduced dark grey clay core within and onto which it was cast. There are triangular holes in the middle of either flank which were presumably used to locate the core (as with 2000,0326.1 and 103029 above). There are also holes at the neck and on the belly through which the clay core is visible. |
