That sounds good.I could dig out and go through my Zechariah Sitchen books and try to find something about the handbags if y’all really wanna know. I’m pretty sure there’s mention of the items that they carry. But its would take some time, and mostly it seems like we’re just enjoying a laugh about them. But if anyone really wants me to go on a hunt, I’d give it a shot.
It could also be that these bags are for storing, protecting and transporting, precisely what they hold in the other hand in the shape of a pineapple.
The scene in these drawings and reliefs, seem to me like guys who have just taken out of their bags, a kind of artifact with which they are delivering information collected by them, to their "gods or bosses", or are receiving information and / or instructions from their "bosses / gods" to them.
And that at the end of such exchange or operation, they will put the artifact back in their protection and transport pouch.
Whatever it is, those bags are a funny mystery.
