Plate XXXV,
All the objects on this plate found at the temple of Apollo Hylates, near Curium.
288. Red terra cotta, exterior now gray. Height, 754 inches.
Male head, bearded; with appearance of early manhood. Hair and beard wrought in
curls by incised marks. Hair confined by a band reaching entirely about the head, but wider
over the forehead than elsewhere. Features rather heavily moulded, especially the eyebrows and
eyelids. Hair and beard colored dark brown on the raised portions. Eyebrows and eyelashes
colored dark brown; traces of red color here and there. End of nose, top of head, and right ear
somewhat abraded.
289. Red terra cotta, exterior now grayish. Height, 9 inches.
Male head, beardless ; hair indicated by incised lines; fragments of a wreath of leaves still
remaining about the sides of the head and brow. Lower line of the nose elevated at an angle of
about 50° showing the nostrils prominently. Ears small, placed rather high. The whole once
colored with red color, of which traces remain. Slight abrasions on tip of nose and on the ears.
290. Red terra cotta, exterior now gray. Height, 18 inches.
Rather rude figure of a person clothed in a stole, or robe reaching to the feet, the body
turned on a wheel and afterwards modified in shape. Head beardless; face slightly uplifted;
nose and eyes very prominent; the ends of the hair are seen on the forehead beneath the shallow,
close-fitting skull-cap with very narrow brim. Stump of right arm uplifted, but nearly all of
that arm, as well as all of the left, broken away. The left foot projects nearly half its length
from the general line of the bottom of the robe, but is still covered by the latter; the right foot is
broken away. On each side, from the arms down and also in the middle in front, decorative
bands of red color, formed of heavy vertical lines joined by oblique transverse strokes, extend to
the foot of the robe. Head broken off, and reset. Portions broken away on rim of cap and
bottom of robe, with slight chips here and there. Surface somewhat incrusted and marred.
