median ridge a pair of incised lines. On the neck six
triangular countersunk areas, and six more of smaller
size on the six knobs of the median ridge.
22. Footed Bowl with Ram’s Head Handle. Pl.
XXVIII. M.S.2735, H. 0.227 m., D. 0.222 m. Small
breaks. Similar fabric and technique. Inset rim; per-
forated foot.
23. Goblet. PI. XXXI. M.S.2749, H. 0.086 m.,
D. 0.083 m. Intact. Similar fabric and technique.
Two string holes, and a zigzag between lines below the
rim.
24. Similar Goblet. PI. XXXI. M.S.2750, H.
0.094 m., D. 0.094 m. Mended and pieces missing.
25. Jug. PI. XXX. M.S.2748, H. 0.115 m., D.
0.103 m. Mended. Similar fabric and technique.
High strap handle constricted at the rim, and ornamented
with concentric triangles. Below the handle two con-
centric foliates like those on No. 17. Below the rim a
row of four horizontal lines and above the shoulder tri-
angles filled with dots. On the shoulder a row of dots
between lines. The lower part of the vase is orna-
mented with ten impressed verticals. By the same hand
very probably as No. 17.
26. Jug. PI. XXXI. M.S.2789, H. 0.129 m., D.
0.122 m. Restorations, including handle. Rim chipped.
Similar fabric and technique. At junction of handle and
rim parallel waved lines. Below the rim intersecting
festoons. On the shoulder a zone of crudely incised
palmettes which resemble those on Nos. 3 and 4 in that
the palmette proper rises from parallel arcs at the base
of the calyx, that the calyxes are moored together and
that they stand on a triangular support. Between the
calyxes are circles with a horizontal and an upright diam-
eter and chevrons in the quadrants.
27. Footed Bowl. PI. XXXI. M.S.2752, H. 0.071
m., D. 0.102 m. Intact. Similar fabric and technique.
Rim grooved. Two string holes.
28. Small Cup with High Handle. PL XXXI.
M.S.2724, H. 0.04 m., D. 0.078 m. Break in rim.
Similar fabric. Handmade. Round handle with strut
at level of rim.
29. Cup. Pl. XXXI. M.S.2758, H. 0.031 m., D.
0.056 m. Handle broken above the strut. Similar
fabric and technique. The shoulder is sharper, the
handle flat; probably like that of No. 8 from Narce 16 F,
PL XXIV.
30. Similar Cup. Pl. XXXI. M.S.3138, H. 0.032
m., D. 0.063 m. Catalogued with pottery from Civita
Castellana but identified by the record photograph.
Handle broken. Similar fabric and technique.
31. Jar. Pl. XXXI. M.S.2746, H. 0.104 m., D.
0.11 m. Intact. Slightly coarser fabric. Handmade.
32. Similar Jar. Pl. XXXI. M.S.2747, H. 0.095
m., D. 0.10 m. Intact.
33. Phiale. Pis. XXX and XXXI. M.S. 2792, H.
0.047 m., D. 0.177 m. Breaks in rim. Fabric and
technique as in the foregoing. On the floor of the bowl
which is unfluted are raised circles similar to those on
the outside of the plates, Nos. 6 and 7, but executed
with less care. Between these circles and the rim are
groups of transverse grooves. The exterior flutings are
not accurately spaced and their direction toward the
center is that of a curved line; they were probably
made with the thumb. Two string holes.
34. Italic Imitation of a Corinthian Bowl. Pl.
XXXI. M.S.2759, H. 0.064 m., D. 9.103 m. Intact.
Fabric and technique as in No. 4. On the lip rays; on
the shoulder, two ducks and filling ornaments with free
use of incisions and purple color on the breast and wings
of the ducks; two fine lines of dilute golden brown
between base and shoulder line, and on the foot.
Objects Other than Pottery
35. Bronze Statuette of a Woman. Pl. XXXII.
M.S.2770, H. 0.052 m. Arms broken. Inserted be-
tween the feet and so accounting for the spread of the
legs is a large bronze rivet which attached the figure to
the object on which it stood. A hole for a second rivet
is bored from front to back at the level of the arms. The
breasts are small but the sexual parts over large. The
face is triangular and the chin raised. The figure was
apparently used to connect a tripod and a bowl after
the manner of the figures on the tripod from the Ber-
nardini Tomb, Curtis, MAAR. Ill, Pl. 48, 3. If so the
rivet between the feet would have attached the figure to
the rim of the tripod; that between the arms to the rim
of the bowl; the pointed chin would have extended over
the rim of the inside of the bowl; and the arms would
probably have been bent at the elbows that the fingers
might grasp the rim. The figures on the Bernardini
tripod are slightly over twice the size of our statuette,
but from Vetulonia come tripods of smaller size, e.g.
that from the Circolo di Bes, 0.22 m. high, StEtr. V, p. 85,
and Pl. VIII, 1 (= Montelius, Pl. 181, 14); and from
Tarquinii comes a still smaller tripod 0.124 m. high,
id. p. 96, Fig. 4 (= Montelius, Pl. 291, 15). Miniature
tripods are also known, AJA. 1936, p. 187.
36. Bronze Statuette of a Woman. Pl. XXXII.
M.S.2771. H. 0.053 m. Arms and feet missing. The
surface shows signs of wear. A perforation from left to
right through the neck shows that the figure was worn
as a pendant. It is possible that it served as the handle
of a toilet article or bodkin, cf. MonAnt. V, Pl. XI, 3.
37. Overlapping Bronze Bracelet. Pl. XXXII.
M.S.2764, D. 0.093 m. Surface corrosion. Solid cast.
The inner surface is less convex than the outer; the latter
is decorated with five lengthwise grooves. The ends are
