Plate IX,
64. Red terra cotta, exterior now gray. Height, 7^ inches. Found in a tomb at
Kuklia (Palaeo Paphos).
Aphrodite ; over the head a peplos, which is fringed in front with tassels, and descends
behind to the feet. A thin draping covers but reveals the body ; being itself scarcely visible
except in occasional wrinkles, and where at its lower edge it crosses the feet ; exhibiting there a
double thickness. Features distinctly moulded; face apparently covered by the same thin
draping; as a wrinkle over the forehead and another under the chin seem to evince. Large
pendent earrings ; about the neck a throat-band with medallion ; a long necklace of large beads,
with pendant; and a third, of chain, which supports a large medallion between the breasts. One
hand, hanging at the side, gathers up folds of the thin draping; the other hand holds some indis-
tinct (perhaps broken) object against the large medallion between the breasts. Broken, and reset.
65. Red terra cotta, exterior now grayish-white. Height, 6%. inches. Found at
Cerynia.
Fragment of figure with cylindrical body, and stumpy, upraised arms ; high flaring head-
dress, somewhat like a calatkus, on the left side of which still remains an object like the roses in
figure 40, Plate VI., suggesting that the head-dress was once surrounded by a wreath of such
objects. The figure would then be a rude Demeter, with calathus. Head broken off, and reset;
left arm broken away. Surface much defaced.
66. Red terra cotta. Height, 11 inches. Found in a tomb at Kuklia (Palaeo Paphos).
Male, bearded figure ; the head bent forward ; left arm hanging at the side ; right arm
bent at the elbow, with closed hand laid at the waist in front. Conical head-dress, beneath
which, in front, hangs a fringe of hair in bandeaux and flat curls on the forehead, and from which
a large peplos behind hangs a little lower than the waist; its folds grasped by the left hand on
one side, while a fold passes beneath and over the right fore-arm. Dress, a long under-chiton,
