<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 9467422, member: 7360"]I think you are right, the Ibis beak is curved downwards, which would have been easy to paint. Of course the painter might have been as ignorant as myself and overlooked that detail! I wonder if it could be a crane, or if I should abandon my Egyptian idea altogether. Maybe the early pictures available in Europe circa 1800 of Egyptian hieroglyphs did not make the beak clear. Any more ideas welcome as to the scene![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
