PLATE XIII. CONTINUED.

Aedicula, or miniature temple or shrine ; with recess containing either an altar or a rude
image of a deity {beiylf), with a double wreath of roses, and two roses fallen to the floor.
Traces of relief decoration, colored red, above the portal; with apparently the Phoenician
symbolic sun and crescent. Portions broken away.

102. Gray terra cotta. Height, 5% inches. Found at Dali.

Rude, bearded Aphrodite. Head-dress a semi-cincture, beneath which are tresses
descending to the shoulders ; arms at the hips ; dress, a chiton. Feet of such different color
from the rest as to seem broken away in the plate.

103. Red terra cotta, exterior now gray. Height, 3H inches. Found at Dali.
Aedicula, with recess containing an object that is probably the symbol of Aphrodite

festooned with roses. Broken in places.
