label: Description
content: A variation of -2109. The main difference is the disposition of the dial at the front of the pedestal, upon which an Egyptian man stands carrying a measure and two garlands. Above, at right, is another suggestion for the figure: a woman sitting as in -2109, holding the measure which consists of a horizontal board with two hanging leads at the ends. Behind the seat is the lower part of a level. Background and the framing as in -2109. Circle holes.
