| Description (summary) | 2001-09-15 | MKB | on the broken reverse the piece is very rough with a granulated texture. The interior portion of the door facade is roughly smoothed with a stick with a thick self-slip applied. The paint is thick and cracked in some places. The piece is probably built up in sections (slab technique) and it is broken between two of these sections. [Input: L915mkb2.j] |
| 2003-09-11 | jw | from mkb. This piece is the central portion of a model of a rectangular building facade. The facade is modeled in three rectangular sections placed one inside the other, which resemble nitches in the typical nitched doorways and facades of temple architecture. While it is not carefully painted, the exterior ond the interior portions of the door nitching are highlighted by the addition of straight but somewhat irregular lines in black paint. One dot of this paint has been placed directly over the center of the door. On the left hand side the exterior-most line is thick, extending around the edge of the model and upward, beyond the exterior line of the frame. This upper portion is not preserved sufficiently to determine whether or not it is the continuation of the door or a part of some upper architectural element. The model is three-dimensional in that part of the left side is preserved and it too has two nitches both with traces of paint placed in veritcal straight lines but on this side also with a horizontal line joining them. Since the horizontal line is thick but not well-preserved it may also have been part of a decorative design. In all likelihood the right side is also modeled in this fashion as the small trace of the edge is rounded and painted. On the broken reverse, the piece is very rough with a granulated texture. The interior portion of the door facade is roughly smoothed with a stick. The piece is probably build up in sections(slab technique) and it is broken between two of these sections. One seal impression from A6(A6q348.1, f105) shows in its iconography a small portion of a monumental doorway. This doorway is not nitched all the way across the facade, but may be partially nitched near the doorjamb. The seal is slightly earlier than the door model. [Input: Nx25jw1.j] |
