Bagley, Shang Ritual Bronzes in the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, entry no. 64 (pp. 372-377, followed by illustrations of nos. 61, 63, 62, and 61.10, as they are referred to in this order in the entry).

Bagley, Gombrich among the Egyptians, pp. 74-101 (“Meaning and Explanation”) and pp. 102-119 (“Interpreting Prehistoric Designs”).

Paper option 2. What kind of distortion can excessive searching for underlying meanings produce? Is it true that only religious motifs have meanings? What do the quilts mean to the quilters and their families? How should we find out the meanings of art?
