Thumb Rest of a Spear Thrower

Cleveland Museum of Art

The object is a beige-colored, cylindrical artifact with a flat top and a flared bottom. The top features a carved human-like figure with a large head, rectangular patterns on the forehead, and a protruding mouth. The figure has circular eyes and teeth. The body of the object has additional carvings, including a figure with one leg bent, and a round object below. There are two holes at the bottom and one on the side. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The object appears to be made of bone or ivory and resembles a thumb rest of a spear thrower, created by an unknown artist.
