Description | UE III: standing hero and small figures over a double door (?). The hero seems to be the very image of the victorious hero in No. 286. He wears the same loin-cloth and long shawl tied about the waist, and he is probably armed with a spear. The little figures above and around the shrine are unusual. The central one is apparently a woman with hands up, pulling her hair. She stands between two men seated or jumping on either side. They are perhaps dancing. Clay sealing. Baked and shellacked post-excavation. Fragment with unclassified designs showing mostly men and animals. |
