The nails are on the paws hanging. Still looking for a good image.
Are we even looking at the same image? There are no claws and no paws depicted on that vase. The only article of clothing I can see is a plain tunic.
Also, I don't know why everyone is treating this Pollux passage as a new revelation... Duncan discusses it in a couple of posts in the "Linothorax Again" thread. Here's the citation:
Quote:Fn.45: Pollux Onomasticon vii, 70 quoting Sophocles (frag.10).
I'll see if I can get a hold of it to settle (at least) that part of the debate.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
