Hello Kaitlyn,

I enjoyed your comments about the depiction of social hierarchy in art. My post was very similar with the peasants doing the work, then the wealthy followed by the kings and gods. I wrote about the vase of Warka, and I was wondering what could be in the 3rd and blank band; after reading your post I believe that it most likely would have been the soldiers or guards keeping the peasants in line.

Thanks for sharing,

Guy
