Clay1988.11741The scene features a gathering of the deity Its'amnaj and other aged supernaturals who hand women from an upper world to a lower realm, the two locales separated by a horizontal band of celestial signs indicating the supernatural and perhaps primordial nature of this event. The hieroglyphic texts include the Dedicatory Phrase (formerly called the Primary Standard Sequence), and shorter texts next to some of the figures provide their names or titles. Those of the vase's painter are found at the end of the Dedicatory Phrase and again in the T-shaped text behind Itz'amnaj.Ceramics25.00000000003643801
