(4) A draped female figure, the head ornamented with

AECHAIC FIGUEES IN MAEBLE.
This class of figures is found in several of the islands of
the Archipelago, and may be regarded as among the rudest
efforts to represent the human form which have been dis-
covered in Greek sites. There is no attempt to model
the face or body, but the general proportions are rudely
marked out. It has been thought that these figures are
the work of the Carians, or of some other barbarous race.
(See Eoss, Archiiol. Aufsatze, i. p. 52; Walpole, Memoirs,
p. 341, pi. 2.)
(1) Naked female figure. The arms folded across the
waist; the neck is very long; the head and mask curved
backwards, and tapering from the chin to the crown ; the
front of this mask is rubbed quite smooth, a central ridge
being left in relief to represent the nose ; there is no trace
of any other feature ; the breasts are slightly indicated; a
groove marks the outline of the arms; the pelvis is indicated
by an obtuse-angled triangle formed by incised lines of
which the base crosses the navel, and the apex is bisected
by a vertical line reaching halfway to the base; the
thighs are close together, the division between them being
indicated by a vertical groove before and behind. The figure
is broken off above the knees; the spine is indicated by a
groove, and the buttocks by an angle in the outline of
the back; the shoulders are broad, the pelvis narrow.
Height, lOf in.1
(2) Figure very similar to that last described. The breasts
are more prominent; the apex of the triangle which repre-
sents the pelvis is not bisected; the knees and legs are
indicated by a curve in the outline; a groove deepest
between the knees extends from the apex of the pelvis
