Handle in the Form of an Animal Head
Japanese, c. 1000–300 B.C.
Only a handful of animals are represented in Jômon art. This piece is in the shape of the head of an animal; it looks like a horse from one side and a sheep from the other. The walls of the indentations are carefully modeled, not simply pressed into the clay with a stick. Judging by the curved back surface, it seems likely that this head came off of a vessel and was perhaps a handle that sat on the rim (with the curved surface at the back forming part of the interior wall of a jar).

what's the story behind your nickname be brutally honest
So. I like to look up name's meanings from time to time. And n the sites about name's meaning they also have a section where they put different variations of a name, like short forms and variations in other languages (ex. joseph - ivan (yeah that's basically the same name))
and one day I was searching meaning behind names i wanted to name my oc and i decided just for fun to look up my friend's name. And I saw a few funny short names of her so I sent it to her. She got into it and a few minutes later sent me a bunch of funny variations of mine. And amongst them was Iskander!! It's an arabic variant of the name Alexandra. And it sounds sick as hell and i really liked it!!!
But the problem with that name is that in no universe would i found a free handle just as Iskander BECAUSE ITS A PRETTY STANDART NAME. So I decided to add trade mark at the end. Iskander-tm. A lil brand of mine. Free to use when im dead
oh also sometimes i call myself Kar and pretend that its short for iskander(no the fuck its not) and its because i was(and still kinda am but not to that extent) a homestuck fan and karkat is my fav, and when i was at the hs discord server my friend used to call me kar bc at the time i guess we had similar vibes? but yeah it also stuck with me
homestuck fucking sketch from the last year to scare y'all
boo
