And she seems to have a seperate necklace under the more usual collars. | ocdolmen

At the same level, there is only one breast.
Just below, the two arms with hands and fingers.
You will note also a piece of the belt which presents nice rafters (Moulin de Louat statue presents the same drawing). | ocdolmen
(2006-04-27) | For the collar in form of Y, it was certainly of a leather lace supporting long pendeloque dug in the center and cut in a bone or if not a kind of long copper "pearl" lengthened or a copper tube. Elements of this type were discovered in Aveyron and Tarn dolmens or caves. |
