| Notes on support and decorations | The supports of as-Sawdāʾ 41 A, B and C are three aligned pillars. This fragment of pillar bears the name of the royal palace of Ns²n (according to RES 3945/16), suggesting that these architectural elements could have been part of the very palace. Between the monograms (for comparison, see as-Sawdāʾ 41 A and B) and below the inscription there is the representation of a panther (Avanzini 1995: 160). |
