Description | CBS Register: terracotta figurine, fragment, god. Bel. PBS XVI: Male figure. Same type. [hand-modelled, primitive, with club and scimitar] The turban is wanting. The right hand is placed on the chest, instead of the left as in the preceding figures. Are the dressed male figures the counterpart of the nude woman with clasped hands? They have no marks of divinity, except the figure in the shrine and a few others with weapons. They may be worshipers in respectful attitude, or minor protectors. |
