Some people (Pelling, and Anton You are not allowed to view links.

But opinions differ on this question, as you can see in the thread discussion I just linked to.
Regarding the bottom left figure: Is he pointing? I agree that his finger looks extended but it seems to me that there are several dots coming out of his hand which might indicate that he could be sowing seeds or throwing salt or something.
