found on the surface and much weathered, may have come from a tomb;
it is headless and measures over "21; the arms are folded, the Separation of
the legs indicated by a deep cut. 2, also headless, is the upper half of a large
idol of the same type, with arms and breasts better preserved; the left arm,
as usual, is uppermost; a groove marks the line of the spine; from B 5, in
deposit above the rock and adjoining the obsidian area (p. 11). G is a head
and neck, thicker and rounder than usual, the nose almost obliterated : 08
high. There is also a fragment of a body like 2, showing the folded arms
and grooved back, -055 high, '035 thick ; from H 3, depth 2—3 20. The
finding of these idols in the houses is a fresh proof that they were used
by the living, not made only as funeral offerings for the dead.

restored on the opposite side; height '20. Like many marble vessels from
the Cyclades it has been hollowed on a lathe, bufc, in consequence of careless
turning, the wall varies in thickness. Cf. 'Ei/>. 'Ap%. 1898, ttu>. x., Fig. 18.
In the Leyden Museum there is a vase of the same shape and made of the
same grey marble, one of four marble vessels obtained at Delos by Colone!
