and that link has a lot...old world motifs have been studied a lot...and often beyond beyond Blakian!...William Blake's poetry famous for its obscurity, ambiguity, and such...no sooner than I note an old world motif curio, than I'm off on a merry chase...so, Innana's door posts....

Posts on right...Rays made out....top of fifth...Calhoun K...Trout up...the male is offering Innana grain in a basket, likely...Trout ground out...Ohtani up...top of order 0 for 8...Angels' runs made by the bottom of order...ground out...to bottom of fifth...and, I haven't seen this, but the Warka vase, which this relief is on, is shaped like a basket...and I find the vase on a lot of other Sumerian relics...in one, it looks to be being filled by pitchers...but too, it has the looks of being like the basket...anyway, it is a 'tribute' motif/element...

The modius is a type of flat-topped cylindrical headdress or crown found in ancient Egyptian art and art of the Greco-Roman world. The name was given by modern scholars based on its resemblance to the jar used as a Roman unit of dry measure,[1] but it probably does represent a grain-measure, and symbolized powers over fecundity in those wearing it.
The modius is worn by certain deities, including Mut,[2] Eleusinian deities and their Roman counterparts, the Ephesian Artemis and certain other forms of the goddess,[3] Hecate, and Serapis.[4] On some deities it represents fruitfulness.[5]
It is thought to be a form mostly restricted to supernatural beings in art, and by rarely worn in real life, with two probable exceptions. A tall modius is part of the complex headdress used for portraits of Egyptian queens, ornamented variously with symbols, vegetative motifs, and the uraeus.[6] It was also the distinctive headdress of Palmyrene priests

Rays made out...to top of sixth...this game is moving right along!...I tried to find a good pic of Artemis with this on her head last season...brb....search: artemis modius

This is an impression of a RARE ancient Roman Sard intaglio, dating 2nd - 3rd century A.D. This important gem, depicts the cult statue of Artemis, held in the sanctuary at her temple in Ephesus (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world). This piece of miniature sculpture depicts her in full glory, as she would have appeared to pilgrims of this important shrine. The engraved figure of Artemis (Diana) is surrounded by gnostic markings, wearing a modius crown and layered dress,..

Graves borrowed from that for his motif, I suspect...that statue is always a kind of a shock to anyone unfamiliar with ancient motifs...but it is actually tame...its the Mistress of the Animals stylized...Artemis was goddess of hunting, noted for being chaste...search: cybele goddess modius

The other coin's legend is restricted to MAPKIANOΠOΛITΩ, which is all that can be fitted onto the smaller flan. Cybele's headgear on both of these coins is not the familiar city wall, but a kalathos, which is a basket with a flared top which was used in a domestic context, sometimes referred to as a "bushel measure" for grain. Sometimes it is confused with the Roman modius, also a basket used as a corn measure; or a polos, a cylindrical hat worn by some goddesses; but neither of these are accurate. The kalathos was typically worn by deities with eastern origins, or when deities are depicted on coins made in eastern mints.

search: innana goddess modius...lol...the following pic caught my eye, and it takes me right where I was reaching (no pics found, yet, of modius on Innana's head), and a word about this following site: the author has been working her pages, crytalinks, for awhile from a perch in a high rise in New York City, and has some fame, and while her youtube channel looks to be obscure, she diligently maintains it...crytalinks has a lot!...Rays made some noise...Angels 4-3...top of seventh...one down...Regnifo up...

Eanna and Dumuzi create the Tree of Life
and
Mesopotamian cylinder seal. Marble. About 3200-3000 BCE.
Dumuzi in net skirt (symbolizes grids) feeding sheep.
Inanna's standards ("gateposts") that frame the image suggest
that the event is happening inside her temple grounds.

On either side of her cult statue shown above is the ring-post, also known as Inanna's knot- in Egypt the Atef Crown. This was a sacred symbol of Inanna, associated with her. It represents a door-post made from a bundle of reeds, the upper ends, bent into a loop to hold a cross-pole. The ring-post is shown on many depictions of Inanna, including those of the famed Warka Vase.

behind the third post, on the right, are two 'warka' vases...there were two...the second one too damaged...and I note the shape of the baskets beneath the third post, and suggest these baskets and vases all go on to be the stylized modius...Rays trying to make noise in bottom of seventh...runners on...the naked males on the lower register of the vase are a lookalike to the naked prisoners on the lowest register of Lady Cao's temple in Peru; these men too seen in the Moche pottery paintings...ground out...to top of eighth...Trout up...0 for 3 day for Trout, and Ohtani too, so far...bloop fly out...I followed that link to the ateph crown, and it has a lot...links up the Innana door posts with those tall feathers Horus is seen with on his headdress...another close play at first gets Ohtani on a ground out...all four of Ohtani's at bats like this...Smith, catching today, up...home run!...Angels 5-3...Angels really need more runs to put this game away...Goodwin up...Goodwin had the bloop rbi double in the first inning...Goodwin with a hit that skipped off first base bag...Fletcher up...

The Atef crown identifies Osiris in ancient Egyptian painting. Osiris wears the Atef crown as a symbol of the ruler of the underworld. The tall bulbous white piece in the center of the crown is between two ostrich feathers. The feathers represent truth, justice, morality, and balance. The Atef crown is similar, save for the feathers, to the plain white crown (Hedjet) used in the Predynastic Period and later as a symbol for pharaonic Upper Egypt.

is it the modius with feathers on the standing figure?...I dunno...and, and I went on in Ancient Architects comment section, forget which clip, about the feathers on the djed column, seen in above pic, like I knew what I was talking about...actually, just made a comment with hunted down sources, which is rarely done in the comments...there's an alabaster figure of Horus with those feathers from King Tut's treasure...Angels made out...and, Rays made out...to top of ninth!...Angels made out...to bottom of ninth!...fly out to left...one down...K...two down...ground out...Angels 5-3...put a halo over this one!...anyway, crystalinks suggests Innana's door posts morphed into those tall feathers seen in Egypt, and relates to the djed pillar...or some such...more door posts and modius tomorrowmorrow....
