An erect human figure with a long garment and apron, pendant arms and large head-dress

At left is a tree with outline indicated; leaves represented by dots. Adjacent is a double

Contains two groups: at right is a hawk?-headed figure, nude, with right foot advanced,
right arm replaced by a wing, left hand holds standard. Facing same are two erect figures wear-

resemble bull's legs. The hands of the third figure rest on abdomen; prominent thighs. The
second group is in three registers: above, a crouched lion, whose head is above that of a prostrate
bull; in middle, a guilloche ornament in five coils; below, a palmette or "sacred tree," flanked by
a recumbent ibex on either side, heads bent backward. Supposed to date from 1000 B.C.
