| Context Description: | Room 6 was the domestic chapel; there was a hinge-box against the east jamb of the door; the floor was of clay; walls stood up to 3.30 m. and mud brick and burnt brick alike were covered with a fine smooth plaster 0.04 m. thick; there were no traces of colour on it. At the south end two projecting jambs partly enclosed the altar which occupied what looks like a tiny chamber; it was of burnt bricks, 0.50 m. high; from it in the east angle rose the ruins of a mud-brick "table"; just in front of the east jamb there was a large clay pot sunk in the floor, Type IL.50, ht. 0.55 m. In the rubbish 0.50 m. above floor level was found the fine fragment of a painted terracotta statue of a bearded god, U.16993, P1. 63.2 |

 | 16993 | (none) | 1931,1010.2 | (none) | Terracotta figure. Fragment. Head and shoulders only of a figure of a bearded god wearing horned crown and apparently seated in a chair. The figure is in the round and remarkably well modeled and moulded : the part that survives is in perfect condition. The right arm and shoulder are bare : over the left shoulder is a sheepskin cloak. The flesh of the figure is painted red, the beard and hair black (much faded), the sheepskin apparently black and white. The crown was yellow (virtually no traces left) and there was a collar or necklace of red and yellow alternating. The chair-back is black. Photos _. |
