This image gives us the opportunity to visually separate multiple meanings contained in the unified symbol. First, the initial nose shape extending right. Attempt to locate the eye associated with this nose.  Second, there are three window shaped “teeth” below the nose. Both the shadows and the lighter parts of the image provide data.

The image is named for the shadow figures in the center, Female on left and Male on right, who appear to cling to each other. The male figure looks left into a conflagration of activity. Festooned in scintillating energy, a mounted figure is seated on a noble steed.  The rider is leaning into the regal courser, standing grandly, resolute. This cohort force act below another mounted figure above. They are engaged in a containment or an eradication operation.

The two macro figures, blue and yellow in color, are facing each other. The older, crone-like creature at left is feeding the younger, embryonic entity on the right. The right-hand figure is shaped much like an Olmec mini-human, or baby-figurine. It exhibits a smooth sheen, a glowing ceramic veneer. The figure on the right appears to be less than full-grown.  The masculine figure on the left, fully mature with foot visible, appears to be manipulating the embryonic humanoid worker; ultimately the embryonic worker to toil in the manner depicted on his (left-hand figure) clothing. For the nature of the work the embryonic worker is cast to do, the male crone-figure instills the reward of mammalian heterosexual coupling when the worker is grown to perfection, as shown in the foreground shadow figures. Perhaps this purpose is enhanced by the forehead sigil, a vital energy signified at the forehead.

For more on this discussion see the blog post Female Form. The food offering may appear here as a penis, in mammalian sexual form. It could appear as a tiny homunculus. Specifically, it is the crone’s offer, the implantation of rewarding sustenance, forming associations at a seminal developmental stage, that become the initial steps in breeding sexual desire into human proto and Homo Sapiens, or any hominin worker population. Sexual desire becomes an unconscious, unquestioned end in itself, as normal as hunger and eating. Implantation of sexual desire in worker breeding stock to provide motive and satisfaction for those workers must be controlled at a genetic level on one hand and fostered in a practical, carceral manner on the other. Functional rules for the mammalian hominin sexual form and an institutional mindset toward the form came far before Humanity. “Escort to Duty” helps us recall Humans did not invent hominin-mammalian reproductive sexuality.
