In the IVth Century, down to the younger
Constantine, goocl traditions remain ; the seated
Serapis (?) 16, is well done, and yet is a
local production as he holds the sacred Bennu
of Herakleopolis (see 143) in his hand. The
Harpocrates figures 37-39 are not as bad as
might be expected; the Egyptian crown head-
dress (141) was maintained; but the figures
were becoming clumsy and rude (118, 120).
After the IVth Century such figures seem to
have died out; only a rude style appearing in
the Vllth Century, starting from entirely
different motives (132-137).

of the same origin as 66. 1 is Aphrodite Ana-
