with a fillet. Triple necklace with pendants. A chiton indicated as the dress. Over the head a
peplos, falling a little below the waist, and covering also the arms to the wrists in front. Lower
part broken away.
196. Gray terra cotta. Height, 5^ inches. Found in a tomb near the last.
Fragment of an Aphrodite, holding the hands to the breasts. Hood, probably part of
a peplos, which is not now closely traceable; with remnants of decoration in brown. Throat
necklace with clasp; another with pendants; and a third, a wreathed chain supporting a bar, with
traces of a medallion between the breasts. Traces of a chiton. Somewhat broken away at
bottom and along both sides. Traces of red color throughout.
197. Red terra cotta, exterior now grayish. Height, 8% inches. Found in a tomb near
the last.
Fragment of a draped Aphrodite, holding the hands to the breasts. Dress, a chiton with
long diplois, from beneath which hang the long fringed ends of a richly figured zoneion, or
feminine girdle (much like a modern ecclesiastical stole). Peplos covers the arms to the wrists,
apparently descending to the feet. Medallion between the breasts, with a number of pendent
charms or amulets, among which a small human figure and a seal ring are prominent. Head,
neck, and shoulders, with lower parts of the figure, broken away.
198. Red terra cotta, exterior now gray. Height, y/2 inches. Found in a tomb near
the last.
Fragment of a rude Aphrodite, holding the hands to the breasts. The only drapery
apparent is a peplos over the head, falling behind the back. Surface somewhat defaced; parts
below the waist broken away.
