.. are so detailed and consistent that they aren't 'representative' or 'symbolic'. I think the artist is trying to show something real and factual.

I often go to the british museum to look at such panels.
When viewing hands held vertically, and one hand holding an ankh down by the lower leg, yes think positive/negative, look for items held up into negative(Staff)
Then when looking at such as fish skins worn, think of how feathers are worn, think of the materials ability to store and reflect/refract the positive/negative, thus uplifting the wearer.
The tree is composed of nested spirals, each branch around 360 degrees sends in an hardwood spike to different spirals.
If you look into links about trees , and wear an electrical hat, you may realise what they are doing as per gravity.
If I can fathom all of this out, think what past civilizations may have been able to do, they were living much closer to nature than we are, we have seperated ourselves, trying to master nature, instead of copying it.
We have also been fooled by thinking we are superior to past civilizations, when due to a series of catastrophes we are possibly descended from higher knowledge/s.

Continue the thought process further and think about how you would depict/illustrate superhuman power. How would you illustrate a human that could fly without benefit of machine, swim underwater like a fish, conduct electricity and light, be of "wise" thought, cat-like quickness, etc. As for the thing that looks like a purse? I'm still considering that one. How would you depict/illustrate humans that could walk through walls?
