D. (T.) 012. Stucco relief fragment (two pieces). Hand
grasping object; colossal. Red clay, traces of colour,
L. p. hand grasping billet, palm upward (?); all fingers
and thumb broken off; fractures show thin wooden cores.
Traces of pink colour. Billet measures 5¼″ length, 1¾″
width, 1″ thickness, and is rectangular. An incised line
runs round upper surface about ¼″ from edges (suggesting
movable panel). 1¾″ from upper end four incised lines
are drawn round three sides (fourth left rough), suggesting
a ligature of cord, under which midway between long
edges of top surface lies a raised circular disc 5/16″ diam.
(suggesting a seal). 1″ from lower end three incised lines
are drawn round billet. These two ligatures are con-
nected on upper surface of billet by two incised lines
running diagonally from edge to edge. (The purpose of
these ligatures would appear to be to keep the movable panel
secure, and the seal to prevent tampering with fastening).
Billet broken near centre, exposing remains of ¼″ wooden
core. Billet coloured white, with ¼″ black edge to all
surfaces (except under, which is unfinished). Very friable.
