Dishes and bowls besides those found on the ground, are seen in the hands of persons who appear in the scenes, first of all the small bowl carried by one of the attendants in the retinue of all persons of distinction, just in the same way as the sirih-utensils at a later period. This vessel is nearly always as if folded in shape, rather narrow at the bottom, and widening out at the top, in a few instances IV 55

and others) it is high and narrow. It is also to be seen in unfolded form, like a flat bowl rectangular or round. The contents is seldom to be seen, but sometimes there is something sticking out over the edge, not always the same. We see things like leaves and also loops either separate or together; in every case where the contents are visible, we see also two rather pointed hook-like pieces bent over the edge and in most instances these objects are the only ones discernible or far more distinct than the others. I give some examples: hooks III 23 and 43

At distributions as will be seen later on, there are trays with jewels, rings, moneybags, garments and such like, prepared for distribution. Jugs with a spout are also quite common.

Vessels that appear continually either in the hands of persons or standing about lamps and incense-burners,which are not very easily distinguished from one another; the waving line seen above them may just as well be a flame as the smoke of incense. They must generally be meant for incensories, as the scenes nearly always represent daylight.When held in the land, the person very often has a little fan in the other hand to rouse tl~e flame. These objects are of all sorts; small and elegant Ia 5, 21

On that same relief there is a bracket hanging to the ceiling of the room containing a bowl with a scalloped edge, attached to a centre piece and strewing a point on each side that looks as if it might be a flame and the whole object a lamp, though we cannot be certain of it).
