jj 105. Retrospect of Minoan Bead-seals and Signet-^mgs : Typk,
Forms and Select Illustrations.
Primitive hod-seals of ivory and soaps/one ; M. M. Ill and Transitional
phase illustrated by hoards of sealings ; Similar deposits at close of palatial
■period at Knossos ; -Early Nilotic sculptural influences—proto-dynastic ivories
imitated in a more natural manner ; Sculptured style common to stone vases and
seals—Old type; Middle Minoan seal-types on hard stones, &c.—hieroglyphic
prisms; ' Signet' seals and those with foreparts of lions ; Disuse of hiero-
glyphic seal types at close of M. M. II; Appearance of portraiture, natural-
istic animals, and rock scenery ; Flat-sided disks—precursors of lentoid type;
Lentoids in vogue by M. M. Ill—the Zakro seal impressions ; Lentoid types:
flying bird, calfs head, and instantaneous sketch of three water-fowl; Nilotic
suggestions of water-fowl motives—later versions contrasted; A typical lentoid
bead-seal; Predominance of lentoid type from close of L. M. Ih ; Almond-
shaped or 'amygdaloid' bead-seals; Transitional M. M. III-L. M. 7 a
examples; Perspective viezuoffish; ' Talismanic' designs ; 'Elongated' amygda-
loid bead-seals, their P.M. Ib-I/ date; Cylinder form—Early Aegean adapta-
tion of Oriental type; Actual import of Babylonian cylinders in M. M. 7a;
