Second paragraph confirms 'attribute' or 'emblem' |
|
attribution Explanation: As it happens I, too, am currently translating some archaeology stuff and finding the same term, which when used, means attribution *to a determined period or epoch*. I wonder if this also works in your context? |

attribute Explanation: It seems that "attribute" could be right in your context. See for instance: http://www.artlex.com/ArtLex/Aru.html encyclopedia.jrank.org/articles/.../Early-Dynastic-Period-Art.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2009-08-30 19:59:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Wikipedia suggests "emblem" as a possible alternative. See: The word "attribute" can refer to: * In art, an object that identifies a figure, most commonly referring to objects held by saints (earlier, by pagan gods) - see emblem |
