Looking at the Seshnela Art Direction, I did notice something peculiar about the Malkioni topless females in the friezes: their hands. Unlike the blokes, these hands appear to be strangely malformed, like several fingers grown (or sewn) together. Maybe these are meant to be dancers’ hand signs, maybe these are gloves.
