Moorey (1979) p. 107 no. 454 'In reconstructing this design, Legrrain cites this fragment and 27 others, numbered U.20083. It is impossible to see where this piece ?ts into his reconstructed design. It is almost certainly part of an equally complicated, but independent. geometrical pattern. It illustrates all too clearly the dangers of reconstructing designs of this type in the absence of any guide from comparable cylinder seals. U.14618 : SIS 4.' |
