For me there were more questions than anything in the second part of Megillat Esther. If anyone can answer please do. First what is going on with the string on the fingers on pg 120? On the same page is the nudity necessary on the left side of the page? Perhaps this is where knowing the hebrew may be of help.
More questions on pg 134, what is the importance of the symbol with the babies in the right corner? Is this perhaps a symbol of ancestry or hint at future lineage? Again on page 135, the statue breaking with the female figuring emerging, perhaps the revealing of Esther in her true form as Judean?
Finally pg 146 and 147, the animal like characters at their feet are made of several different animals with multiple cultural significances. I can't help but feel that if I knew what the Hebrew on them both said perhaps it would give a clue. Any thoughts on these creatures? Dragons (even in part) have no real place in Biblical literature that I know of. Just a bit perplexed!
