PLATE XXXIV. CONTINUED.

Female lyre-player. Head-dress a tiara of several rows of pearls ; peplos falling behind,
but gathered up over and falling within the right arm ; a few folds of it also falling from the left
arm below the lyre. Hair in a roll over the forehead, falling also in curls that spread over the
shoulders in front. Chiton and diploi's ; from beneath the latter fall the two ends of a wide
girdle (zonion) with broad transverse embroidered bands and long terminal fringes.

Throat-necklace clasped by a heavy brooch with pendants ; a second necklace with
pendants ; the third, a chain supporting a wreathed bar and medallion. Bracelet on right wrist,
which might easily be confounded with the folds of the peplos. Traces of red color throughout.
