border, like No. 14. This bird is much rubbed on one side. (Found
with No. 14.)
Ornaments.
(a.) Fibulae.
Nearly 100 fibulae were found, all outside the Basis. The types are :
xvii. 21- (1) Single Ball-type; the ball occupying almost the whole bow: broad
catch-plate, and rather long pin-coil flattened on one side. No
enrichment except occasionally a moulded band round the spring of
catch-plate or coil. 28 specs., none quite complete, and all of
relatively small size. The principal variety lies in the diameter of
the ball. A common archaic Greek bronze type : cp. Aphaia, pi. 1 16,
Nos. 23, 4 : Olympia, iv., pi. 22, No. 368 : Her. ii. pi. 86, No. 870,
etc. ; but not yet found in precious metals.
xvii. 12, (2) Plain semicircular bows, flattened at the sides or rounded. No enrich-
13, ment. 2 specs., complete with pins, and 2 others with pins broken.
Cp. Korte, Gordion, p. 102, Nos. 1-3, (Tumulus iv. ; early 7th cent. ?)
Her. ii. pi. S7, No. 901. This type was probably enriched with beads
strung on the bow, and so presented an appearance similar to the Ball
type, which latter is perhaps developed from it.
xvii. 15. (3) Plain, broad and thick bow, highly arched and of oval section. Broad
square belts above moulded bands at spring of catch-plate and coil.
1 spec. Cp. Troja Dorp, i., p. 414, fig. 433 (7th or 8th city).
xvii. 16- (4) Plain bows, swelling in the centre, sometimes to an obtuse angle
20, (No. 19), and sometimes enriched with a stud (No. 18). Usually
no other enrichment; but sometimes broad square belts at spring
of catch-plate (which is in some cases broad, in others a mere hook),
and coil, as in No. 1 (No. 16). 7 specs. This type is closely related
to the Ball-type, and recalls the common kind of earring in all metals.
(5) Enriched bows of various kinds, developed obviously out of the
Ball-type, and often retaining the large globe at the centre of the bow
in addition to other ornament. The broad flat catch-plate of the
Ball-type is reduced to a hook, generally divided from the bow by a
transverse bar.
xvii. 3, (i.) Balls all round the bow, sometimes with larger ball in centre.
14- 1 developed out of plain bows strung with beads of amber or
glass, etc. (See A. Furtwangler on Olympian bronze type,
