re: #259 A hollow voice says: Abort SCOTUS
This isn’t quite the situation here. The faces on that dingus look like the faces of other tomb guardians of the time or later. Also, one armrest implies two, and I don’t believe any more were found in this (previously undisturbed, I think) tomb.
I believe they used an arm (or wrist) rest when writing or for some painting because unlike a pen, holding a brush up can be tiring.
