92. Red terra cotta, exterior now gray. Height, 5 inches. Found in a tomb at Dali
(Idalium).

Fragment of female figure ; cylindrical body ; arms apparently extended, but scarcely
more than stumps ; left arm broken away. Head-dress, a cincture with lappets falling over the
shoulders in front down to the breasts ; that on the left broken off with the arm. Lappets
attached to the cincture by rosettes ; the one on the right broken away. Much worn ; somewhat
chipped on the chin and left cheek.

93. Red terra cotta, exterior now gray. Height, 9% inches. Found at same place as
the next.

Draped female figure, nearly as the next; but peplos shows no folds except at edges ;
below it, a chiton ; feet indicated. Hair with high curls above the parting. Two necklaces, the
upper one obscure ; below the other one, the hem of the chiton visible. Nose and other
features defaced ; feet a little broken.

94. Red terra cotta, exterior now gray. Height, 6% inches. Found at the site of a
temple of Artemis Paralia, at the Salines, near Larnaca.

Female figure draped in stole or peplos ; which covers a supporting high head-dress, and
wraps the lower part of the body in its folds. Arms, mere stumps, but probably designed as
covered by the dress and perceptible at the elbows only. Face well moulded ; hair parted in the
middle, descending on each side in a long twist to the elbows. Two necklaces with pendants;
the upper one obscure. Feet not indicated. Broken away a little at top and bottom.
