| Resurrection by Dieric Bouts (1455) |
a) Adhering
to a system of ideas somehow based on the Henu Barque that appeared to
be running through Resurrection paintings a lot around the time?
b) The three rudders become the three women at the top of the winding road.

c) The three rudders become the three women at the top of the winding road.
d) The oryx horns become the angel wings (whereas quite often it becomes the double tailed flag).
e) The oryx eye becomes a black clasp below the angel's neck. .
f) My
original statement was that the fan becomes the tomb lid because I
thought that it happened in other paintings, but I think the tomb lid
comes from the arm position of the crouching man and so the crouching
man's head becomes the head of the man on the left of the angel which
has been turned the other direction from that which crouching man's head
is facing.
g) With that, the far left head is the crouching man's face in reverse with the ear becoming the nose of the head by the angel.
h) The ox horn becomes the kink in the flowing cloak opening up into a space on the angel's wing
i) The beaded rope becomes the long object held by the man on the far left.
j) The man on far right also becomes a translation of elements from the left of this Henu Barque.
k) The
ox horns and the beaded rope would perhaps become his collar and the
slit down the front of his robe. The oryx horns becomes band cross his
hat. The fan becomes his diagonally held ax.
l) Perhaps
the part of the skirt covering the upper leg and waist of of the
crouching man sleeping man's sleeve on his lower arm becomes, and the
crouching man's stomach becomes the sleeping man's head
