The Ivory Statuettes. 167
The scene is bordered with a narrow raised edge which runs all round.
Each side of the outer edge is carved with a raised moulding between two
beads.
[Found under foundation of B enclosure wall on the S. See pp. 44, 63.]
xxvi. 7. 36. Part of relief. H. -027 m. x "027 m. x "05 m. thick. Part of a
narrow lower square moulding is preserved, and above it is, on I., a large curving
object, perhaps part of a lotus flower (?), and on r., a portion of a double tendril.
[W. area.]
[After the illustration was made a small further fragment was added at the
1. lower edge.]
xxvii. 1. 2>7' Hawk with spread icings. The outlines have been drawn on a slab
4 millim. thick, and then cut out a jour, some details being added with engraved
lines on the upper surface ; the under side is plain. H. "038 m. by '04 m. It
has evidently been intended for attachment to some object, and for this purpose
a circular hole has been drilled through the centre of the body. Part of the
body and of the head are broken away, but portions of both eyes remain,
indicated by incising. The wings are edged all round with a border consisting
of a square filled with dots, alternate with an empty square.
[W. part of W. area],
xxvii. 38. Stud with relief, human mask. H. 1 cm., W. •014. The head of
5 a, b,-j. the stud is a disc, on the front of which is carved in relief a human beardless
face and neck to front, in archaic style. It has the appearance of having been
reduced in size after it was carved, and this reduction has curtailed the hair.
The under side is cut in a series of stepped circles tapering downwards, and was
evidently intended to be fastened in some other object. [W. area].

xxvii. 39- Seal ring. H. "033 m. Diam. of seal "029 m. A small portion of
3 a, b. tjie rjm js ^panting, and has been restored in wax. The interior diam. of the ring
is only 'Oi m. ; it was therefore clearly intended only for suspension, and not for
the finger. The handle terminates at each end in an ornament like the volute
of an Ionic capital ; the body of the seal is modelled in two broad members
with narrow fillets on the inner edge, separated by a deep-recessed moulding,
the whole suggesting the general form of the base of an Ionic column. On
the fiat side of the seal (the bezel) is a design in intaglio within a border of
dots in relief. The circular field is divided in three by equal segments of
circles, forming a triangular space in the centre. In each space is a gryphon
couchant, looking back over its shoulder with wide-open jaws.
