Figure 165.
Figure 165 is a more complicated stele. Above is the symbol
already mentioned, then comes the sign of the Pentagram,
represented by a five-pointed star, towards which the person raises
his or her hands. Besides the latter is a rude form of caduceus. A
brief inscription follows in the Punic character. The Punic or
Carthaginian language is usually considered to have been a dialect
of Phœnician, and Carthage was of course a colony of Tyre.
Beneath the Punic inscription is a horse’s head in better drawing
than the sculpture of the rest of the stele, which would seem to
imply that the rudeness of the representation of the human figure
is intentional. This and the following stele are also from
Constantine.
In Figure 166 again, the horse is best delieated by far. In
addition to the other symbols is also a hand or foot, for it is almost
impossible to distinguish which, at the head of the stele, followed
by an egg-and-tounge moulding. The figure of the person with the
arms raised is treated as a pure hieroglpyh and is placed between
two rude caducei. The Lunar or Solar symbol follows.
Figure 166.
Figure 167. Figure 168. Figure 169.
Figure 167, also from Constantine, shows the last-mentioned symbol above.
The figure with the arms raised is simply a hieroglyph, and is placed between and
arm and a hand on the one side, and a rude caduceus on the other. Figure 168
shows the person holding a rude caduceus in the right hand, and standing above a
dolphin.. This latter, as in the case of the horse in 165 and 166, is by far the best
delineated. Figure 169, this also being from Constantine, shows the usual human
hieroglyph between a caduceus and a cresent.
