Morgan Seal 1053
Provenance:
Acquired by Pierpont Morgan sometime between 1885 and 1908.
Notes:
"It is difficult to determine whether the treatment in 1050 and 1051 indicates that the figure between animals is always to be regarded as female, even in those scenes which are so cursorily rendered that it is hard to decide whether the form is that of a demon or of a bird (1052-1058). ". Porada, CANES, p. 146
Summary:
Winged demon between two kneeling antelopes -- Hand, fish, star, one above other.
