Pendant (tooth)

The barrel-shaped item, flattened on one side, has partially remained tooth enamel. The parts of the item are separated by a deep groove. On the artefact "hangers" and a "head" are well decorated. The quality of preservation is good.



Manufacturing technique

The channel separating the parts of the item along the perimeter is made with a planning knife; when shaping, a burin was used.


Use-wear traces

Probably, the item was used as a pendant since traces of polishing were found on the entire surface.
