Quote:To sum up, without wanting to sound arrogant: The interpretation of this material in regard of tunic colour and clothing style is extremely difficult, and certainly needs some kind of art-historical and classical archaeological methodological and practical experience and knowledge. And even then it is, in regard of the nature of the genesis of ancient art, extremely specualtive, and cannot produce sound proof in any way
This would be my point, partly. However, it does not follow that this is a "hunting scene". The figure does not seem remotely interested in hunting the boar.
Also, I would not go so far to say that there is no proof in art.
