202 The Archaic Artemisia of Ephesus.

GLAZED WARE.

Glazed objects were found in large numbers, and may be distinguished into
Glazed Terracottas and Glazed Pastes.

I. Glazed Terracottas.

A. Birds (Hawks) in brick-red terracotta coated with blue-black glaze, on
which polychrome pigment was applied to render details in a conventional style.
The birds themselves are of stylized type, the claws being represented by round
knobs, while heads and beaks are of unnatural form. I know no nearer parallel
to these singular objects than the bird figured by Salzmann in Ndcropole de
Camiros, plate iv., no. i ; but that has a more definitely Egyptian glaze. Three
specimens, found just outside the Basis in the lowest stratum, two with the terra-
cotta "Goddess" figurines, on the N.W., and one to E.

xliii. l. The most perfect specimen: dull deep blue glaze relieved by yellow

along the wing outlines, the beak, crest, neck, and breast, round the
eyes and on the claw-knobs (slightly broken). L. crest to tail "09.

xliii. 2. Glaze of lighter blue. Outline of wings in white with green hatching.

The whole surface a good deal perished. L. crest to tail -o6i. Beak
of exaggerated aquiline form.

xliii. 4. Highly vitreous glaze ; very well preserved, and painted with white

chevrons : shown by the glaze extending below to be complete without
feet or tail; but a shallow socket indicates that the whole has stood
on a pin or been a finial. Beak very aquiline. Eye in white.
H. •029.

xliii. 3. There were found also the core of a specimen of the last described type,

with little glaze remaining, H. -034 : the body-cores of two specimens :
fragments of wings in bright sky-blue glaze with yellow markings :
and a claw-knob.

D. Amulets (?).

xliii. 5. Five staff pendants, perforated near the head. Highly vitreous, blue-black

glaze, relieved with yellow chevrons or serpentines and yellow belts above and
below. The more perfect specimens show a socket below. The best-preserved
is "044 long. [All were found with the glazed hawks, just outside the- Basis on
the N.W.]

These pendants are very near the Egyptian staff-pendants of I )yn. XVIII.,
and later, already referred to in relation to Ivory " truncheon " pendants (p, 189).
