An Anthropomorphic Horn Figurine from the Northern Foothills of the Kuznetsky Alatau, Southern Siberia

V.V. Bobrov and P.V. German.

The article introduces an unusual anthropomorphic horn fi gurine, found out of context in the foothills of the Kuznetsky Alatau and owned by the Tisul local museum, Kemerovo Region. The iconographic and stylistic analysis of the fi gurine suggests an Okunev attribution (early 2nd millennium BC). Given the archaeological situation in the Kuznetsky Alatau at that time, an Okunev migration is possible. Certain artistic devices have not hitherto been described in the prehistoric art of Siberia.

Keywords: Prehistoric art, portable art, anthropomorphic representations, iconography, Bronze Age, Okunev culture.
