PLATE LXXIII. CONTINUED.
prominences for eyes; heavy nose; tail short, trailing; larger part of three legs broken away, and
the end of the fourth, the left foreleg, chipped. Traces of red color throughout, though the figure
is much encrusted.
663. Red terra cotta. Height, 5^ inches.
Relief figure of youth on horseback; both quite well modelled, except that the head and
neck of the horse are thick and heavy. Rider sits facing to the left; the right hand resting on
the horse's flank, and holding what seems to be a patera with wreathed edge and boss in
the middle. Head-dress high, conical, supporting a peplos, beneath which, over the forehead, is
seen the hair in twisted rolls. The peplos also falls behind and at the sides, being drawn across
the breast from the right, and held in the left hand, which is just visible at the horse's neck,
pushed through the crested mane. Other dress, a short-sleeved tunic, girt at the waist, and
reaching to the knee, but displaying the limb and a little of the body above. Leg bare; foot
shod. Surface colored red; much worn. Features marred. Horse's head nearly all broken
away.
664. Gray terra cotta, exterior now grayish salmon color. Height, 3% inches. Found
at the Salines, Kiti, near Larnaca.
Fragment of relief of a winged Eros riding a goat, astride its shoulders. Eros faces to
the right; clad in a tunic that is clasped over the right shoulder, leaving the right arm and most
of the body bare, but covering the left arm, flowing down the side of the goat's neck, and grasped
from within by the left hand, the latter resting on the animal's neck. The right arm hangs
from the shoulder, the forearm lying across the thigh. One wing of Eros, and all the rear part
of the goat, broken away.
665. Red terra cotta, exterior now gray and brown. Height, 7^ inches.
Relief of equestrian figure. Rider faces towards the right; clad in sleeved tunic girt at
the waist and reaching nearly to the knee; the leg in a close-fitting trouser gathered about
the ankle ; foot shod. Head-dress a mantle, wrapped about the head over some crested cap,
drawn about the chin, and falling negligently behind the back. Horse high-stepping; arched
and flowing tail; crested mane ; bridle with bit; breast-strap somewhat worn and a little incrusted.
