A.V. Polyakov and Y.N. Esin.
Eight miniature horn fi gurines representing human-like characters and heads of birds, elk, boar, and a carnivore, were found in grave 4 at Itkol II mound 14, northern Minusinsk Basin. The burial dates to the early (Uybat) stage of the Okunev culture (second half of the 3rd millennium BC). The form and composition of certain fi gurines resemble those of Okunev steles.
