[QUOTE="Theodosius, post: 2966772, member: 77077"]So what does the decoration on the body of the vessel represent? It looks like there is a wire framework outlining various square panels around the vessel. Do the panels contain images, symbols, etc. Is the framework made from attached wire, or is it stone or pottery? Are there analogous rectangular decorations on other vessels? The canopic jars are decorated with figures and scenes, so are there figures and scenes inside the squares, there sure seems to be something. I find the "mulberry" shaped pillows all these canopic jars are sitting on to be an interesting shape. Is this supposed to be a human brain or a very ripe mulberry? OK, talk amongst yourselves and then let me know all the answers. :-) John[/QUOTE]
