HIRSCHFELD, "The cognitive foundations of cultural stability and diversity," Trends in Cognitive Sciences 8 (2004) 40-46, esp. 44; D. WENGROW, The Origins of Monsters: Image and Cognition in the First Age of Mechanical Reproduction (2014) 23. WENGROW (ibid. 1, 24) uses the term 'composites' for what I term 'hybrids'; he sensibly refers to 'images' rather than 'representations' since these are creatures of the imagination, not pictures of living things that could be seen in the world. 2 The literature on this subject is vast and only a fraction of references can be given here. Similarly only a small selection of images can be presented, chosen to show the variety of media involved and changes (or not) in iconography over time. They are aimed especially at readers unfamiliar with the Aegean repertoire. For cultural background and dating:

The study presents a summary account of the collection's history, together with an assessment of the scholarly milieu in which the authors of the volume worked. There follows a detailed evaluation of the seal in question, in which material, shape, size, technique, composition, pose and style are all assessed. Comparisons are made with seals in circulation when the seal was acquired in 1907, as well as the repertoire known to the van Effenterres. These lead to the conclusion that the seal must be regarded as authentic, a view supported by recent discoveries. This case study thus helps to underscore the changing attitudes toward Aegean glyptic in the last century and the benefits we enjoy today with a substantial percentage of the extant repertoire now documented systematically in the CMS series, permitting comparisons to be drawn between pieces now widely dispersed. The opportunity of viewing images greatly enlarged on computer screens also facilitates the scrutiny of minute details that can lend weight in the rehabilitation of pieces previously regarded as suspect because they lack a secure provenance or have a murky past.
