Description
Breasted: 4. Copenhagen, Glyptothèque Ny Carlsberg, A 520 (Pl. 40b). Scene of slaughter, brewing and baking, each separated by partition wall. Slaughter: butcher has just cut throat of bound ox, as the line of red at the neck indicates; he holds in his right hand a large knife while a man seated opposite him has a jar in which to catch the blood. A woman standing near the hind quarters seems to be striking the animal to prevent coagulation of the blood. In the corner a seated man is roasting a goose over a fire. Brewery: a seated man kneads dough while a standing woman crushes grain in a mortar with pestle. A seated man tends a fire in a cylindrical oven. Bakery: work is carried on by women. One crushes grain in a mortar with a pestle; two others grind grain into flour; a fourth tends a domed oven.
