18. Gray terra cotta. Height, 8 inches. Found in a tomb at same place as last.
Aphrodite, with hands holding the breasts ; much less rudely wrought than the preceding
figures. Surface much defaced ; but traces visible of a necklace of beads or small amulets. Hair
in a roll over the forehead ; from above which, behind, a short peplos falls upon the shoulders
and to the waist.
19. Red terra cotta, exterior now gray. Height, 6 inches. Found in a tomb at same
place as last.
Aphrodite ; ruder than No. 18, but less so than the preceding figures ; holding the hands
upon the breasts. Large nose ; ear-rings, necklace, and breast-medallion rudely moulded and
somewhat indistinct. Button-like prominence at navel. Eyes and hair indicated in brown ; over
the latter hangs a hooded head-dress, falling over the shoulders in large ovoid masses, each of
which is made double by an ornamental, longitudinally dividing, incised line, colored brown,
from which oblique brown lines extend, with a slight curve, to the sides. Traces of brown color
throughout.
20. Red terra cotta, exterior now gray. Height, 4^ inches. Found at the Salines,
near Larnaca.
Fragment of seated Aphrodite, with hands held to the breasts ; two necklaces of large
beads or amulets, and a third necklace, to which is suspended, between the breasts, a round
medallion, with pendants. Otherwise, nude. Head and feet broken away, and surface somewhat
defaced.
21. Red terra cotta. Height, 6 inches. Found in a tomb at Dali (ancient Idalium).
Female figure, doubtless Aphrodite ; the right arm hanging close to the side, the left bent
at the elbow so that the hand comes nearly to the right breast. Traces of armlets on each arm.
About the neck, three necklaces ; one a small throat-necklace, the others of large beads, support-
ing each a small medallion. Hair in bands over the forehead, with locks coming from behind
the ears down over the shoulders in front. Peplos over the head, falling behind to the feet.
Much defaced, and cracked across the lower part.
