Wa 1086
Wa 1094
Inventory: 94763
Museum: Archaeological Museum of Florence
Measure: 2.8 x 1.5; thickness: 1.2
Shape: Hanging nodule with a single hole
Inscription: Wa 1094: engraved "cross" symbol (Linear AB 02 RO). Scribe: unknown
Motif: CMS II,6 28. A seal impression - likely from a lentoid soft-stone: two motifs seem mixed. From one side we see the "bird-lady", where both arms may be intended as wings; but the upper part of the woman represents a bucranium as well, where the eyes correspond to the breasts, the horns to the arms and the muzzle to the bodice
