ITALIC TOMB-GROUPS: NARCE 18B
11. Counterpart of Foregoing. Pl. IV. M.S.
574a, L. 0.076 m. Transferred from Vulci Tomb 66 in
the record photograph of which it does not appear
whereas it appears in the record photograph of this tomb.
Pin missing. Hollow cast with plugged circular vent
hole in upper surface. Decoration as in the foregoing.
12. Similar Fibula. PI. IV. M.S.1138a, L. 0.053
m. Intact.
13. Similar Fibula. PI. IV. M.S.1138d, L. 0.0
44 m. Intact.
14. Bronze Fibula. PL IV and Fig. 3. M.S.1138e,
L. 0.046 m. Intact. Unornamented transverse bands
separated from one another by sharp ridges.
15. Similar Fibula. PL IV and Fig. 4. M.S.1138b,
L. 0.04 m. Intact. Similar to the foregoing but the
transverse bands are separated by grooves instead of by
ridges.
16. Counterpart of Foregoing. Pl. IV. M.S.
1138c, L. 0.04 m. Pin missing.
17. Bronze Fibula. Pl. IV and Fig. 5. M.S.1139a,
L. 0.028 m. Spring, pin and part of catch missing.
Central transverse band of arch plain flanked by two
bands filled with fine parallel lines, over either of which
are incised two pairs of slanting lines. Parallel zigzags
adjacent to spring and catch.

18. Similar Fibula. Pl. IV and Fig. 6. M.S.1139b,
L. 0.028 m. The design is like that of the foregoing ex-
cept that the terminal zigzags are omitted.
19. Bronze Fibula. Pl. IV. M.S.1152a, L. 0.022
m. Plain arch, slightly enlarged at center. Pin and
part of catch missing. No ornament.
20. Similar Fibula. Pl. IV. M.S.1152b, L. 0.019
m. Pin broken.
21. Bronze Fibula. Pl. IV. M.S.1152, L. 0.028 m.
Pin missing. The arch is made of a flat band on which
were strung amber beads of which three remain.
22. Spring and Pin of a Fibula. Not illustrated.
Found among the bones in No. 1.
23. Bronze Ring with Fibula Attached. Pl. IV.
M.S.1150a, D. of ring 0.021 m., L. of fibula 0.014 m.
Intact. The ring is ornamented with herring-bone pat-
tern; the fibula is unornamented.
24. Counterpart of Foregoing. Pl. IV. M.S.
1150, D. of ring, 0.021 m., L. of fibula 0.016 m. Intact.
25. Overlapping Bronze Bracelet. PL IV. M.S.
1144, D. 0.78 m. Solid cast. The surface was once
covered with a smooth patina which can be easily flaked
off from the underlying bronze. In one place, between
the overlapping parts, this patina escaped the cleaner
and reveals transverse rows of finely incised herring-bone
ornament. Faint traces of this pattern where the patina
is gone imply that the entire bracelet was so ornamented.
Ends knobbed.
26. Overlapping Bronze Bracelet. Pl. IV. M.S.
1145, D. 0.071 m. Intact. Made from a thin band of
bronze with slightly rounded contour on the outside.
27. Bronze Ring. Pl. IV. M.S. 1147, D. 0.041 m.
28. Small Bronze Ring. Pl. IV. M.S.1151, D.
0.016 m.
29. Fragmentary Bronze Coils. Pl. IV. M.S.
1148, D. 0.046 m. Two bronze wires, joined at their
ends, are laid side by side and coiled together. At either
end they are separated and rippled. Three of these
rippled ends are preserved.
30. Fragment of a Silver Ring. PL IV. M.S.
1151a, L. 0.031 m. The outer surface is the color of
lead and quite soft; the core is of solid metal. On
chemical analysis the outer surface which is approxi-
mately a millimeter thick proves to be a waxy substance;
this is separated by a thin line of black silver oxide from
the core which contains 79 parts silver to 21 parts gold
with traces of copper and tin. The wax of the outer
surface is probably of modern origin, since many metal
objects in the Frothingham collection received at one
time a coating of wax.
31. Three Trilobed Tubular Pendants. Pl. IV.
M.S.1140, 1140a, and 1140b, L. 0.071 m. Breaks in per-
forated lobes. Eight fine incised lines encircle the tube
just above the lobed end; four at the other end. Pairs of
lines at intervals between.
32. Lead Ornament. Pl. IV. M.S.1142, D. 0.031
m. Broken and bent. There can be no doubt that the
material is preponderantly lead since it is extremely soft
