black or red vases ornamented with engraved branches of
trees, with three feet and two small and two large upraised
handles as arms; also to the terra-cotta goblets, which
are occasionally the form of champagne-glasses, sometimes
also in the shape of a soup-tureen with two handles.
The most interesting of the terra-cottas found this
week, and the most im-
portant to archaeology,
are these :—the beau-
tiful . red vase-cover
with the owl's face and
helmet of the Ilian
Athena, which was
found in a large red urn
at a depth of 8 meters
(27 feet):—then two
vases, likewise adorned
with the owl's head
of the tutelary god-
dess of Troy, but
also with two breasts,
a large navel, and two
upraised arms. One
of these vases was
found upon the Tower,
the other above it, at
a depth of 4 meters
(13 feet).
Among the other
very remarkable terra-
cottas found in one of
the rooms of the sub-
terranean house, at a depth of 7 meters (23 feet),-there
is a crucible with four feet, in which some copper is still
to be seen; also a small brilliant black funnel. I also
