| Iconographic description, specific | 2005-08-00 | mKB | two rollings: only clear figure in upper rolling is an animal probably a duck rendered with a patterned back, just as the duck below the table. Lower rolling: table and under it is an unclear object and a duck; above the table we see two legs, probably of a human who may have a straight weapon extending behind; opposite these are two legs of a hoofed animal. Both these pairs of legs are placed horizontally parallel to the table top. Seated figure facing right with left? arm raised holding an unclear object; instead of the usual stool this figure is sitting on a chair with a high back that serves as a groundline for the human and hoofed animal.Under the chair may be a third duck. [Input: ZI827mKB.j] |
| Notes on style | 2005-08-00 | mKB | space totally filled with figures, schematic style with a combination of scenes and figures placed in different directions; the extension of the chair back and its linear connection with the figures placed horizontally above the table gives the effect of a frame even if it is not patterned in itself; this seal does not have however another characteristic of the schematic style, that is the disarticulated heads nor a patterned border. The seated figure is without any interior modeling. [Input: ZI827mKB.j] |
