Plate LXVIII.
i, 2. Bells. Bronze. Shades of brownish green. Height i S/8 inch and \l/2 inch
respectively. Diameter at base i3/& and i% inch. These and the following objects are shown at
almost their true size. From Dali.
No. i has a tongue hung at the end of a two-link S-chain, which is held in place by a
wire. No. 2 lacks tongue. The former was originally hung by a strong wire ring that terminated
in a hook inside of the bell. The material of the latter is thick and heavy.
3. Ladle. Bronze. Dark green and brown. Length 3^ inches. From Dali.
Point of bowl is bent back ; end of handle gone.
4. Fork. Bronze. Grey and dark green. Length 5 inches. From Amathus.
Two tines; handle hexagonal with ball at end.
5. Dipper or stirrer. Bronze. Shades of green. Length il/2 inches. From Dali, found
inside of a glass.
A perfect example : one of three in the collection. The bulb at the end shows spiral cor-
rugations. These objects are also found in glass: see Plate LXXVI, No. 2.
6. Spike. Bronze. Grey and brown. Length 8^4 inches. From Dali.
Shown at full size. Four-sided ; tapers for whole length.
7. Spike. Light grey and dark green. Length 534 inches. From Dali.
Mushroom head, with eyelet at centre. These spikes are samples of a large number of
specimens which resemble the wrought iron nails of colonial times. Some have large, some small
heads, like Nos. 7, 8 and 9, but are distinguished by an eyelet through their middle. Similar
instruments are used to-day in Cyprus to carry a thread, but the large head precludes the idea that
these particular examples were used as needles. It is more likely that the eyelets were used to
receive a rivet.
