Quoted text:

3.4 Bevelled-rim bowl, and Sumerian sign meaning “to eat.”

From Nissen 1988a[1]: Figure 33, p. 84
Nissen 1988b[2]: Figure 30, p. 123, Bevelled Rim Bowl and the sign-forms for KU2 “to eat.”

Should Illustration 3.4 be split into two images instead of one? (If so, the chapter image numbers and Illustrations list image numbers will need to be updated accordingly.) If you have suggestions about where in the chapter to embed the second image, let us know—next to the first or elsewhere?

Any image suggested for inclusion in The Creation of Order must be licensed under Creative Commons 4.0 or in the public domain if it is to be embedded in the chapter. If it is not CC4.0 or PD, please suggest a link to somewhere externally readers might find the correct image.
