Title
Thumb Rest of a Spear Thrower
Object type Implements
Description
This object was lashed to a spear thrower, where it served as a thumb-rest or grip. The imagery is suited to the use: a supernatural being throttles a human, turning its head to expose its throat to a knife the being holds in one hand. Thus, the scene captures the crucial moment of an offering likely intended to assure the benevolence of divine forces.
