Plate LI.
i. Vase. Bronze. Reddish brown, with dark green spots. Height 3^ inches. Diam-
eter of body, 2}4 inches. Found at Curium in a vault.
Base is short, slightly flaring. Body ovoid. Neck cylindrical, with outward roll at
top.
2. Mace-Head. Bronze. Dark and light green. Length 3 inches. Long circumference
9J/2 inches. Weight 1 pound 13 ounces. Found at Curium in a vault.
3. Lamp-Stand. Bronze. Shades of green. Height 1 \l/\ inches. Found at Curium in
a vault.
The collection contains fourteen examples. In general they consist of a conical or cylin-
drical socket and a decorated upper part, which resembles Egyptian lotus columns. The socket
fitted upon a standard, and was fastened by a rivet (rivet hole here visible). Three narrow ridges
(3l/z inches from the bottom) are at the smallest part of the socket, which then flares (iyk inch) to
a disk-shaped shoulder. The upright then contracts to 3^ mch t0 f°rm the stem of an inverted
eight-petal flower of flattened spheroidal shape (height of flower 1% inch, diameter 2% inches).
Some examples show two, others three of such flowers. Above this flower is a disk whose edge
is decorated with raised bands and a depressed zone in the middle. From the edge of this disk
there rise three petal-like stems, which flare slightly and curl over at the end (3^ inches high).
These stems are three-faced, flat toward the inside. Near the top they are joined together by a
ring, upon which, in one case at least, a lamp like that shown in Plate XLIV, 3, was found in situ.
Some examples have diagonal braces supporting the curled points at the top.
4. Vase. Bronze. Brown, mottled with green. Height (now) 4 inches. Diameter of
body, 2l/2 inches. Found at Curium in a vault.
Base is short and cylindrical; body, pear-shaped; neck is small and broken away 3^ mcn
from body.
