No human figurine has been noticed. The few animal figurines, mostly fragmentary and unidentified, include a humped bull and a snake. Other terracotta objects comprise triangular cakes [6.27], cart-frame [16.17], models of door-frame and door-leaf, cubical dice [6.7.1], gamesmen [6.7.2], bangles and beads. A small fragmentary terracotta piece, possibly a bead, is coated with gold. Faïence is used for the manufacture of bangles, beads and miniature bowls, steatite paste for short cylindrical and thin discular microbeads and semiprecious stones for beads, which include carnelian, long barrel banded agate and tiny triangular pyramids of quartz and carnelian. A limited use of bronze or copper is evidenced by unidentified pieces, pins and a fragment of thick flat celt.
