The two bearded figures in the lower register are the learned men versed in the interpretation of dreams. One writes with a pen; the other consults a scroll. They predict that the auspicious dreams of the queen foretell the birth of a son who will either be a powerful hero and king or a religious leader of the world. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1932.119.9/1932.119.9_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1932.119.9/1932.119.9_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1932.119.9/1932.119.9_full.tif
