2727. Capital from the archaic temple at Ephesus. This
capital, like the preceding, has been composed of frag-
ments. The chief characteristic is the great rosette
which occupies the
middle of the vo-
lutes. The central
portion is certain,
but the outer mar-
gins are somewhat
conjectural.

setting - out lines
were found, consisting of arcs of two concentric circles,
struck with radii of 24^ and 24| inches, and a chord
parallel with the face of the capital. (Fig. 76.)—Ephesus.
Marble. Width across volutes, 9 feet 1\ inches; width of abacus,
6 feet I'Oj inches. From the excavations of J.T.Wood. Murray,
Journ. ILI.B.A., 3rd ser., III., p. 54.
2728. Archaic female (?) head. The hair is confined by a
broad fillet, with a triple row of conventional curls,
partly spiral and partly of rosette form. At the back it
is arranged in a s}"stem of overlapping layers. A mass is
brought up from the back and is confined by the fillet.
The sockets of the eyes are hollowed out, and probably
contained coloured paste set in bronze.
The sex cannot be determined with certainty. The
head-dress is doubtful, but the general contours of the
face seem best suited to a female head. The sculpture
appears to be Attic work of the last quarter of the sixth
century B.C.—Presented by B. W. Webb, Esq., 1892.
