| 16396 | (none) | 1931,1010.275 | (none) | Statuette of goddess. Standing on a rectangular plinth. Bronze(?) Solid casting. Standing figure draped in flounced kaukanes coat. High horned headdress. Hair done in a chignon at back to head, and 2 short fillets hang down in from of body just over shoulders. Arms appear to be bent at elbow, forearm held vertically against body. Rib runs down full length of back from chignon to top of plinth. |
| 16424 | (none) | 1931,1010.1 | (none) | Statue. White limestone, with eyes inlaid with shell and lapis; traces of black paint on hair. Female figure standing, hands clasped in front of the body. Nose broken, one eye pupil restored. The hair is simply treated with curls across the forehead, then a broad bandeau; the back hair is brought up & over the bandeau in a small chignon and hangs in a heavy wave above the shoulders & at back of head. She wears a plain chiton & heavy cloak falling from the shoulders over the arms in straight lines to the feet. The feet are missing, the base of the stone being broken away; when found the statue was let into a round baase and bitumen had been plastered round it & smoothed down so as to make a spreading skirt at the expense of loss of design to the figure, which was this reduced from an original height ofc. 54mm to 37mm (the bitumen has been kept on by waxing). It had also been broken in half and mended with bitumen. The workmanship is not very good, and the decayed surface of the stone does it less than justice - but the type is a good classical one. The statue was obviously an antiquity given a place of honor in a temple which must date to circ. BC; so that the date of the statue might well be as early as the 3rd dynasty of UR. |
| 16425 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Statue. White limestone; broken in half but complete. The eyes inlaid with lapis, brown-painted shell and steatite, the nose of plaster, yellow paint on top of head. Female figure, standing rigid, the hands clasped in front of the body; she wears a long garment with 7 pleated flounces reaching to the ground, the arms hiden by the second flounce with seems to be a short cape. Two long tresses of hair hang down in front over the shoulders, the rest of the hair hangs down behind in a heavy square-cut netting. A bandeau passes across the forehead and also it rises a flat sharp-edged disk marked by criss-cross lines. It is painted yellow & may represent the (early) gold ribbon headdress; in the top of it at the back are 3 holes in which must have been stuck hed ornaments after the fashion of the (early) comos. The ears are pierced for metal ear0ring. The nose (perhaps because the original had been broken off(?) was made separately; there was a deep slot to fasten it on; one half of the nose modeled in plaster (out in bad condition & mishappen) was found and has been provisionally attacked. The figure is extraordinarily ugly, and the workmanship is flaccid and mechanical. |
| 16426 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Terracotta relief. A bull-legged demon facing right. Broken in half but virtually complete. The body is in profile with the left leg advanced, and hands held in front of body holding a staff, the head is full-face. The figure is nude except for a belt; he wears the bulls horn headdress and has bulls ears, but the face is human, with long elaborately curled beard. From the waist downwards the body is that of a bull. Bold but conventional work, the upper part in high relief, the legs flat and poor. It was painted bright red all over with black on the beard and eyes; ground also red. The red paint had mixed with the soil & formed a powdery covering as much as .002 thickness, concealing the fgure; much of that next to the clay was preserved and some was replaced. |
| 16434 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Pillar, white limestone. Coarse-grained stone. Rectangular, and hollowed out on the top in a rough cup. On each side there is at the top a panel from 22 to 27mm high, on which is a very rough carving in relief, flat figures silhouetted against a cut-away ground. On one side there are 2 birds; on each of the others a human figure draped and advancing left. The chipping of the top edge has damaged the carvings. |
