This steatite carving, measuring 10 x 6.5 cm, represents an intriguing humanoid figure with an "eagle head," a motif suggestive of the Near Eastern artistic traditions dating back to the 3rd millennium BCE. The amalgamation of human and avian features might indicate a deity or a protective spirit within the pantheon of ancient Near Eastern mythology, where such composite beings were not uncommon. The piece’s material and stylistic features link it to ritualistic or ceremonial practices of that era.
