The Ivory Statuettes. 169
model chariot ; cf. Paus. i. 2S, 2, where a bronze chariot (perhaps also a model)
is dedicated in a temple as a tithe of war-spoils.]
xxvii. 9. 43. Part of chariot wheel. Greatest length -035 m. Apparently of wood.
It gives only the axle with the thicker parts of the spokes, which terminate in
a triple raised fillet as collar. The thinner part of the spoke is preserved
partly in one instance, and wholly in another ; allowing for the missing portion,
the diameter maybe calculated as about ^05 m.- The hub is not ornamented,
the only decoration being an engraved line joining collar to collar on each
side, slightly below the exterior surface. The number of spokes in this case
is seven. [\V. area.]
xxvii. 44. Fragment of a chariot zuJieel, giving a segment (about {) of the
tire of a wheel slightly smaller than No. 42, with the broken stumps of two
spokes still adhering ; the outer surface of the tire is like that of No. 42, with
similar decoration; one side is plain, the other has an engraved pattern
(see fig. 30). The number of spokes was apparently eight. [W. area.]
xxvii. 45. Fragment of a chariot pole, giving the end of the pole terminating in
a collar with two flanges, between which is set a short rectangular piece with a
pin crossing it vertically and pierced by it. [W. area.]
xxvii. 7. 46. Dish with two handles. H. '015 m., diam. '068 m. Solid, clumsy
form, as if imitating marble, with space hollowed out for int., leaving a broad
flat rim ; the handles are very thick for the size, and cylindrical in section ; in
the centre of each, on the upper side, is drilled a circular hole to a depth of
about 5 millim., probably for the attachment of a cover (?).
In the centre of the int. is a rosette of 16 petals on a sunk circular panel ;
eight similar designs, but with rosettes of eight petals, are arranged equidistant
around the rim, with two parallel tangent lines connecting each to each. The
ext. has in the centre a faintly indicated circular foot set in the midst of a
number of radiating petals which reach the rim, indicated by grooved lines,
forming a lotos flower.
[F"ound in the rammed earth between the E. extension wall of the Basis
and the first parallel wall, see p. 45.]
xxvii. 47- Comb. Length "09 m. by *o6 m. It is of the double form, with
10- broad teeth (10) at one end, and fine teeth (19) at the other. They are
separated by a broad plain band, with a curved roll ornament on the borders
outside ; on the surface it has on each face an engraved linear pattern
(see fig. 30) ; part of one of the roll ornaments only is missing.
[Found in an isolated pocket within the S.W. corner, see p. 43. See
Perrot and Chipiez ii., pp. 759, 760 for similar combs in the Louvre.]
