THE BRONZES
long, shallow, alniond-sliaped sockets. Nostrils
indicated. Month rendered by groove. For
style, see III. 5, b (above, p. 203).
For heads of similar use, cf. Olympia, Nos.
789 f.
2205. One ear gone. Condition poor. Width,
0.82 m. Griffin's head. Sides probably repre-
sent wings. Vessel to which object was at-
tached was large and slightly narrowed at top.
Details of head sketchy. Ear a rounded blade
with dull point. Horn about 0.003 m. in height.
Beak curved and thin. Between ears, indenta-
tion which seems too slight for place of eyelet.
No other place of attachment for handle. Per-
haps merely ornamental.
Cf. Olympia, No. 791.
(&'.) Not clear whether following two numbers
were intended chiefly as handles or as orna-
ments.
2206. Length, 0.081 m. Ends concave on
under side for attachment to rounded surface.
2207. Length, 0.0615 m. Same on both sides,
except that one side is more concave, and hence
was probably the under side. In end of pro-
jection, deep lengthwise groove, 0.004 m. in
width. Nails pass clear through and have heads
at back.
E. CONNECTING RODS BETWEEN BOWL AND
BASE.
2208. Condition poor. Height, 0.044 m. Top
has thin oxidized piece of metal on both sides.
In foot, hole (diameter, 0.001 m.).
2209. One end bent. Length, 0.111 m. Oc-
tagonal bar. For shape, cf. Olympia, Nos.
672 f.
2210. One end gone. Length, 0.091 m. At-
tached metal was thin, as is shown by slight pro-
jection of rivet.
2211. Bar broken or rather cut sharply off.
Length, 0.068 m.
It is less certain that the following belong
here.
2212. From West Building. Shaft broken.
End of foot gone. Condition poor. Height,
0.0425 m. Width of shaft, 0.008 m. Large
rivet in foot. Attached piece was thin.
2213. Shaft broken. Length, 0.056 m. Small
hole in each foot. Possible trace of engraved
zigzag on bar.
2214. From West Building. Shaft probably
broken at top. Condition poor. Length,
0.0875 m. No rivet in foot.
F. ORNAMENTS OF VASES.
2215. Bar broken. Condition poor. Leno-th
0.142 in. Shaft was not extended on other side
of vertical bar. Near top of latter, a single en-
graved line. Attached to top of large vase.
Projected slightly above rim.
Cf. vase from Vulci (Polledrara tomb) in
British Museum, and Olympia, No. 852.
2216. From wall east of house of guard.
Shaft broken at both ends. Rivet-hole near
centre of vertical bar. In use and attachment
similar to No. 2215.
It is not certain that following number is from
a vase.
2217 ( = 383). From West Building. Ends
of the four projecting arms broken. Length,
0.34 m. Vertical bar attached by a rivet to
back piece. Back piece slightly wider than bar.
From back piece project horizontal arms which
do not seem to be of one piece with it. Bead
ornament on arm.
2. TRIPODS AND STANDARDS.
A. FRAGMENTS OF LARGE TRIPODS.
(a'.) Legs.
Plate CXXIV.
2218. Lower end. Length, 0.181 m. Width,
0.035 m.-0.046 m. Thickness, 0.029 m.-
0.0375 m. Consists of thick three-sided shell,
the inside of which is nearly filled with bronze.
At back, filling projects slightly and has hole in
it. Bottom a separate piece of irregular height
(back, 0.0025 m.-0.015 m.; front, 0.018 m.-
0.029 m.). Made of same material but more
rudely. Welded to upper part. Ornamental
grooves continued roughly on front, but not on
sides.
For style cf. Olympia, No. 565 (Furtwiing-
ler's first class). Ibid. No. 622, is, however,
more akin to Heraeum piece than No. 565.
Plate CXXIII.
2219. Top of leg of small tripod with shal-
low bowl. Length, 0.08 m. Width, 0.03 m.-
0.048 m. Cast in one piece. Concave surface
on back for attachment of bowl, which was held
by three bronze nails in top of leg (piece of
one still in hole). Width of sides of leg,
0.0085 m. and 0.01 m. Decoration like that on
front. From back, at edge of break, pin projects
upward at angle of about 40° to support surface
for bowl. Length, 0.027 m. Diameter, 0.0075 m.
