Questions
1. Does the selected and sketched pattern resemble any known asterism or official constellation that we use today? If so, which one(s)?
Yes. Most of it is Ori.
2. Did the culture in this section have a similar mythology (e.g. dogs, hunter, boat, etc.)?
Yes. CMa was another sky goddess so I might assume there would be more.
3. If yes, describe any material differences in either the figure's star pattern as imagined by the culture, and / or the difference in the mythology.
No difference in the star patterns.
4. Is it likely that this star group, for this culture, may have been influenced by older or adjacent cultures? If so, whom? Maybe.
This is yet another figure of a person that is depicted by Orion.
5. If, for this culture, this group was significant for calendar, crop, or social events, describe what was involved, and how the timing or the appearance of the group was important or useful.
Not sure.
