| Notes on support and decorations | Pillar decorated with a vertical series of panels representing ritual scenes with anthropomorphic divinities. The scene which we call as-Sawdāʾ TA 1A 7 is represented at the base of the pillar. From the top: ibex and ostrich frieze (not visible in the pictures, see Arbach, Audouin and Robin 2004: 32); two trees of life with pecking birds and horned animals (antelopes?) bordering an empty space originally occupied by a representation in high relief (probably an ibex). Three hands and the symbol of the letter B; one-line inscription. |
