3 from Barnabei’s Tomb XLI, a trench-tomb, which
contained also a krater ornamented with gryphons’ heads

Bernardini Tombs; No. 15 from Narce 2 F, PI. XXXIII
and No. 22 from Narce 105 F, PL XXV, both similar but

the necklace from his Tomb XXXVII, MonAnt. IV, col.
490, 3 and 4 cited as comparable to our No. 19 from this
tomb, had as a central pendant ornament a “piccola ascia
di diorite.” It may be that our spear-point was so worn.
