Aterian hutfloor HK 148b, NE Sector, artifact #17; flint.

Tentative interpretation (James Harrod): Indeterminate, perhaps, very vague, head of an animal facing right, or rotating 90 degrees clockwise, suggestion of head, face looking right, eyes and nose flaked, with hood, holding up something, maybe meant to be a mother and infant, or hands in prayer gesture; but this is very speculative.
