Tribute
Notes: Games on later....

Objects in the "Apadana" reliefs at Persepolis: armlets, bowls, and amphorae with griffin handles are given as tribute.

MONEY MYSTERIES Painted murals found in a small pyramid at the Classic Maya site of Calakmul depict scenes of people exchanging and consuming goods in what may have been a marketplace. Stylistic details indicate that the images date to nearly 1,400 years ago.

tough to find New World offering/taxation scenes...there's two elements I'm reaching for: the row of taxpayers/gift bearers, and the collector/god/diety...and, that canopy I went on earlier about comparing the Narmer mace illustration with the Moche ritual illustration...both of those show gift givers presenting to someone under a canopy, lookalike canopies in the two scenes...don't know but this matchcut, side by side, is enough to exasperate, exacerbate!...just the worst...
somewhere a good tribute scene with the two elements....brb...wait, what happened is I noted a canopy over an overseer in one of the agricultural scenes in Menna's tomb in Egypt...I have that...just looking for a finer one...in Egypt that canopy goes from out in the fields, to on boats, to the canopy over the king's throne, and his mummy, to being stylized as the 'naos', the little shrines, and the ubiquitous offering/weighing of the soul scenes...the kiosks too I think fit in this...and, the canopy over the king is Sumerian too, and maybe everywhere...the Popes altar in St. Peter's sits under a tent sort of thing, and this inside...

The form of the structure is an updating in Baroque style of the traditional ciborium or architectural pavilion found over the altars of many important churches, and ceremonial canopies used to frame the numinous or mark a sacred spot. Old St. Peter's Basilica had had a ciborium, like most major basilicas in Rome, and Bernini's predecessor, Carlo Maderno, had produced a design, also with twisted Solomonic columns, less than a decade before.[2] It may more specifically allude to features drawn from the funerary catafalque and thus appropriate to Saint Peter, and from the traditional cloth canopy known as a baldacchino that was carried above the head of the pope on Holy Days and therefore related to the reigning pope as the successor of Saint Peter. The idea of the baldachin to mark Saint Peter's tomb was not Bernini's idea and there had been various columnar structures erected earlier.[3]

that simple canopy on an Egyptian reed boat got complicated elaborate!

The ciborium arose in the context of a wide range of canopies, both honorific and practical, used in the ancient world to cover both important persons and religious images or objects.[3] Some of these were temporary and portable, including those using poles and textiles, and others permanent structures. Roman emperors are often shown underneath such a structure, often called an aedicula ("little house"), which term is reserved in modern architectural usage to a niche-like structure attached to a wall, but was originally used more widely.
... ... .,.
The Holy of holies of the Jewish Temple of Jerusalem, a room whose entrance was covered by the parochet, a curtain or "veil", was certainly regarded as a precedent by the church;[4] the naos containing the cult image in an Egyptian temple is perhaps a comparable structure.
