Description

‘Two joining fragments forming a feline paw. Height: 6.1 cm; width: 4.2 cm. The upper part of the limb with the dentils (03TR11U08stn06) was found on 20 July 2003 in the burned debris above the pavement in Trench 11 (unit 8), about 2 or 3 m from the south section of the trench. The foot part (04TR11U22stn01) was found on 4 July 2004 in the same context (unit 22), farther to the north of Trench 11. The relief has broken off around its edge, giving it a “cookie cut” appearance. Breaks occur through the foot and the fragment is broken off through the leg. There is some damage to the surface of the front of the leg.‘
