Exhibit №22

Depiction of four zoomorphic figurines from the Gosper Island dig on Teegarden’s Star b (NKM layer, date uncertain). Stylized but recognizable portrayal of an indigenous even-toed ungulate with similarities to a Terran camel. The assemblage was cast in a bronze analog from what was clearly a standard mold, but vary in degree of subsequent embellishment. The cache was discovered with a chit which translates in part to “…including tax.”
