EXPLORATIONS IN MOCHLOS 31
No. XVI, 13. It seems to have been cut up intentionally to form
a narrow armlet, composed of four pieces, one of which has disap-
peared. The rivet holes for fastening the pieces together can be seen
at the ends of each strip. No. d is a part of a similar armlet of
poorer workmanship. Nos. e and g belong together and were orig-
inally of the same length, but one end of g has been broken off.
Nos. / and h are likewise parts of one armlet and show much
coarser tooling than the others. These armlets are of fairly thick
gold and, like No. II, 14, were beaten out over a form. The fact
that the edges are always turned in may indicate that they were
only a facing to a core of perishable material around which the
edges were folded. The pieces vary in length from 7 to 10 cm.,
and are 2 cm. in width. No. i is a narrow strip of gold with a
dotted border and two holes in one end (length 7 cm., width 1 cm.).
II. 19, a-h (figs. 10, 11). Eight leaf-shaped pendants of gold.
It is possible that these belonged to the diadems and were fastened
in the holes noticed in their upper edges. These pendants vary from
2 to 3 cm., in length.
II. 20, 21 (figs. 10, 11). A narrow armlet of thick gold bearing
a design of lozenges scratched on the surface of the metal. Like
the armlets of No. II, 18, this one is formed of two pieces which
were riveted together (length of each piece 10 cm., width 1 cm.).
II. 22 (fig. 10). Six gold beads. The two largest evidently had
a core of perishable material as the metal is too thin to have stood
alone.
II. 23, a, b, c (fig. 10). Gold leaves from sprays like No. II, 24.
In all twenty such leaves were found some with a dotted border and
some plain.
II. 24, a, b, c (figs. 10, 11). Sprays of gold leaves probably for
wearing in the hair; a should have a fourth leaf like those of 6 and c,
but unfortunately it has been broken off. The leaves vary from 4
to 5 cm. in length.
II. 25 (fig. 10). Disk of thin gold with dotted border, much
crushed. This may have been sewn on a garment as there are
some tiny holes around the edge (diameter 5 cm.).
II. 26, 27 (fig. 10). Two strips of plain gold pierced with holes at
either end (length 11 and 9 cm., width 1.4 cm. and 8 mm.).
