PLATE XIII
SUCELLOS
This divinity, characterized by a hammer (of. p. 9), was a ruler of the underworld (cf. the representation of Dispater with a hammer, Plate XIV). A benevolent god, his hammer is a symbol of creative force. The artistic type (for another instance of which see Plate XXVI) was influenced by that of the Alexandrian Serapis and the Classical HadesPluto. Cf. also Plate IX, B. The figure was found at Premeaux, France.
