07
Source the identity
Copy the museum title and attach a specialist interpretation separately.
08
Read the gap
Describe the negative space between arm, child, torso and seat.
09
Write three lines
Separate physical contact, museum identity and the surface the case hides.
AFTER THE ROUTE
Keep the relation physical
Begin with bodies meeting, then move to seat, scale, gaze and material. The title may identify Isis and Harpocrates, but it cannot replace the exact way the figures overlap or the support makes them stable. Record what the case hides and keep any catalogue image as a separate view. End with one sentence about contact, one about sourced identity and one about the current display limit. The relation stays legible because the note never reduces it to a label alone. Add dimensions, display angle and the point at which the contact becomes difficult to see. A close photograph can flatten overlapping bodies, while a side view may clarify the support and back pillar. Keep both views with their identifiers and image credits. The route is complete when the physical relation remains visible before the source adds a divine name, date or devotional context. Compare one related figure only after this route is complete. List a shared point of contact and two changes in scale, seat or gaze. This prevents the clearer example from replacing the object you saw. Add the official dimensions and label wording so the relational reading remains anchored to one identifier and one dated display condition.
ROUTE LIMIT
Keep the quick read sourceable.
A route records one viewing condition. It is not an official gallery map, object guarantee, conservation assessment or photography permission.
