Animal/Human Shaped
This category includes small animal or human representations pierced for hanging.
Animal/human pendants are more than likely amulets, but have been named based on their shape rather than their possible function. The majority of the human shaped pendants are Humbaba or Pazuzu. The animals come in a variety of forms from birds to bulls.
