Below the border are two figures whose feet soles meet at the middle of the fragment with their bodies extending in opposite directions; each is draped in checkered fabric with arms and fingers outstretched. The unusual imagery of the mold does not point to a specific use. This object was acquired by the Museum in 1939 through a division of finds with the Iranian government.. Mold 449857
