Iconographic Description 2008-9-14mKB presentation/greeting scene showing a seated figure on a camp-type stool with a prominent x-shape facing right. In back of this figure is a stylized tree with a spade-type top, next to this is a standing figure facing right holding a long pole with a pointed top. In front of the seated figure stands a figure with one arm raised in greeting wearing a long garment which may only start at the waist.It is not clear if this figure is wearing a hat or if the figure is bearded. The seated figure is wearing a long striated garment the top of which is unclear; this figure holds a short weapon-thpe implement that may be a mace. [Input file: S914MKB.J / S914MKB.-J]
Style 2008-9-14mKB Figures are elongated and details are not well carved. Because of several elements including the composition it must be concluded that it was recut. These elements include the fact that the figure behind the seated figure (usually a servant) is separated from the main figure by two full height pole-like elements positioned next to each other.There are four short but deeply carved horizontal lines between the two subordinate figures that make no sense in the composition. An added fact is that the lines of the tree-like element overlap the seated figure. I think that in the original scene there were only two figures and that the space behind the seated figure was left blank for an inscription to be added later (possibly at the time of purchase).
