other holes where pins have been jabbed through the metal (length
27 cm., width 1 cm.).
II. 11 (figs. 8, 9). Ornament of thin gold. Evidently part of
this ornament has been broken away. The restoration given in
Figure 8, where a stem has been added to the gold trefoil, is not
correct. Figure 9, No. IE, 11, a, shows a more probable restoration
in which a fourth leaf is supplied, the stem remaining as a sep-
arate object (diameter 4 cm.).
II. 12 (figs. 8, 9). Boss of gold with a dotted border (diameter
2 cm.).
II. 13, a, b (figs. 8, 9). Two hoops of gold. These hoops were
evidently the rims of some object, since they are turned in around
the edges as though to grip a core of some sort. It has been sug-
gested that they may be the rims of tiny porcelain vases which have
perished and that the gold bosses of Figure 9, No. II, 12, and Figure
10, No. II, 32, may have served as covers. Figure 9, No. II, 12, a,
shows the hoop and boss together in this form. Such porcelain
vases with gold rims have been found at Knossos.1 (No. II, 13, a,
diameter 1.9 cm.; No. II, 13, b, diameter 2.5 cm.).
II. 14 (figs. 8, 9). Object of thin gold, probably an ornament
from a dagger sheath of cloth or leather. The design was beaten
out over a form bearing the required tooling instead of being worked
through from the back as was the case with the diadems (length
4.2 cm., width 1.8 cm.).
II. 15, a, b (figs. 8, 9). Two plain triangular gold ornaments
pierced at the narrow ends (length 5 cm., width at bottom 2.5 to
3 cm.).
II. 16, a-f (fig. 8). Six strips of thin gold intended for fastening
to garments. All six have dotted borders. Nos. a, b, e and / are
not pierced at the end, which was folded over some object. In all
there are nine such strips. Two others are shown in Figures 10,
11, No. II, 31, a, b. In length these strips vary from 9 to 10 cm.
II. 17, a, b (fig. 8). Two plain strips similar to those described
above. They are both pierced at one end (length 7.5 cm.).
II. 18, a-i (fig. 8). All of these nine gold bands, with the excep-
tion of No. i, are pieces of armlets. Nos. a, b, c belong together
and formed an armlet like that from Tomb XVI shown in Figure 38,
