| Description | CBS Register: terracotta mold of 2 figures (god and goddess) PBS XVI: Girl musicians as before [see B1968] with double flute and drum or mystical ciste. Their waved hair is tied by a turban and looks like a turret with dental projections. They stand on a low brick platform, a podium within the limits of the temple. This suggests a ritual action. THe same pedestal is found below the feet of other ritual figures: the nude woman pressing her breasts; the libator priest carrying pail and cone; the worshiper offering a kid. Modern cast made out of an original ancient mold. |
