The Occator crater lights on the Ceres planetoid


a) Illustration of seated goddess between lions on lentoid ring-stone

(Presented in the book "Mycenaean Tree And Pillar Cult and its Mediterranean relations" by Arthur J Evans (1901))

The ring is to be found in the British Museum collection, I would obviously like to know more about it.

 


 

 

b)  Occator Crater from PIA20350, image released on 22nd March 2016

 c)  Left side of mantle and the head area next to the left lion's head and the head of the seated figure.
 
 

 


d) Area of Occator Crater that becomes the lion's head and legs




e) Area to the left of the mantle like area and the lion's head that would be the equivalent area



f) The area that would seem to translate into the lion's forelegs and the lion's forelegs

 
 
 
g) Vinalia Faculae area that becomes the right lion and the right lion
 
 
 
 
h)  Part from above Vinalia Faculae that becomes the lion's head
 
 
 
 
i) Area of seated figure and a seated figure
 
 

 j) Vertical strip of lights at the left side of Vinalia Faculae and the Lion's legs 
 
 
 
k)  Comparison between Vinalia Faculae area and the mid torso and rear leg of the lion 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

  
l) Attempt to draw out lentoid images over the occator landscape in red

I've taken the whole of the crater and drawn in red, the areas which I think were developed into this lentoid image. I'm not really sure about the face that the goddess seems to be sitting on yet but it would be to do with the Cerealia Facula
