Информация от изследване
The piece features an elongated, fusiform shape, with a wider flattened upper end, followed by a bulging median section with an almost oval cross-section, in the form of a bird. The lower end progressively thins out, ending in a rounded tip. On the lateral faces, superficial longitudinal grooves are visible, likely results of manual modeling or a smoothing technique with a tool, probably suggesting the wings. On one of the surfaces, an alveolus can be observed, possibly a firing defect or the area where a modeling paste element came off. The surface is partially covered with a thin varnish, uniformly applied, with a shiny aspect on certain areas; in other portions, it is visibly worn or exfoliated. The piece seems complete but shows pronounced abrasions on edges; micro-cracks; small chips at the ends. The clay seems well kneaded, with fine degreasers, compatible with ancient production. The varnish, defined as a thin, shiny layer, applied to the outer surfaces, suggests either a evolved surface treatment technique unknown in pre-antiquity periods. The overall shape, symmetry, and treatment suggest rather a symbolic/ritual function artifact, not a utilitarian one. The dimensions and execution technique are compatible with ritual objects or figurines from the ancient period, but for a sure cultural attribution, the context of discovery and paste analysis would be necessary.
