Thanks for the comment Chris.
It's one of those things that nags at me every time i look at those drum carvings.
It might just be coincidence but it does seem to fit in some ways.
Now i've just got to interpret the other panels, back in 5 minutes. ; )
But what does the objects themselves represent?
