[quote="Adam BrownWhat I can't understand is why so many philarae are blank in illustrations. I would have thought if they had some symbolism then they would have had an image on them. Is it the case no-one knows what was on them so they are just left blank?[/quote]

One possibility is that additional details could have painted on.
