402. Calcareous stone. Height, iof inches. From the temple (Golgoi).
Bearded head, with conical cap, represented as if made of knitted work. Below the
head-dress a row of short curls is visible on the forehead; the beard is rendered in
formal curls; the nose and topknot of cap are broken off, and the beard is injured on
the surface.
403. Calcareous stone. Height, 1 foot f inch. From the temple (Golgoi).
Bearded head, with conical cap, represented as in the preceding. Under the cap a
row of short curls is visible over the forehead; the eyebrows are modelled in relief in
a formal archaic manner; the beard is divided on the surface into parallel vertical bands,
or tresses, terminating in formal curls, mostly broken off. These tresses were worked
over with slightly chiselled lines. Beard, nose, ears, and head-dress are mutilated.
404. Calcareous stone. Height, 1 foot 4^ inches. From the temple (Golgoi).
Head, with pointed beard and conical cap, on the front of which is a dove, with
spread wings and tail in relief. Two rows of short formal curls are visible over the
forehead; the hair, falling behind on the neck, roughly rendered in short curls ; the beard
is represented by short curls, with a slight mustache; the lower part of the beard and
tip of the nose are broken off. The front part of the head was found detached, and has
been rejoined. It is probable that heads of large and colossal size were sometimes sculpt-
ured in two or more pieces, and this seems to have been the case with the head now
under consideration. There are in the Cyprus collection a score or more of large-size
heads, which seem to have been sculptured in this manner.
405. Calcareous stone. Height, 1 foot 2 inches. From the ruins of the city of
Golgoi.
Bearded head, with conical cap, represented as in the preceding. In front of the
