Plate LII.

Heads from statuettes representing Demeter; or possibly some of them, i.e., those with a
simple woven basket quite cylindrical in shape, her attendants. As with the complete figures,
Plates XLVIIL, XLIX., the heads wearing the calathus, or basket flaring at the top, and usually
adorned with rosettes and a pointed border, generally represent an enthroned Demeter. Those
with the cylindrical basket (modified calathus) of woven work, are often standing figures,
carrying a box (cista) in the left hand; a manner of representation which belonged either to
maidens personifying the goddesses in religious processions, or to attendants of Demeter. All
were found at the Salines, Kiti, near Larnaca.
