EARLY ARCHAIC

201.

(Fig 70.) Hastily modeled figure of a child, broken at waist. On her right arm she holds
a small doll. Traces of white. Height, 5.5 cm. Red clay.

202. Thirteen small heads belonging to the type of Nos. 198 and 199. They
are flat at back, of pronounced archaic style. The hair is usually a mass falling
to shoulders, slightly notched over forehead, with polos or stephane. General
traces of white. Heights, 2.5 cm. to 5 cm. Clay, fine, ranging from yellow to
red.

203. Three very similar heads, not, however, flat at back. The features are
archaic. Hair, mass. One head has the polos. Traces of white, of red on polos.
Heights, 3 cm., 3.5 cm., and 4 cm. Clay, light yellow to red.

Lower part of crouching male figure with hands (disproportionately large) on knees. The
figure corresponds very closely to one from Megara Hyblaea (cf. Man. Ant. I. pi. vi. 5), and was
undoubtedly a satyr or silenus. Traces of white. Height, 6 cm. Reddish yellowr clay.

205. Lower part of squatting figure, probably a satyr, broken at waist. Hands rest on knees.
Traces of white, sporadic bits of red. Height, 4.5 cm. Light yellow clay.

There is a similar figure in Syracuse, large terra-cotta room, Case III., from Megara Hyblaea.

206. Rude seated Pan ■—hollow figure, which probably served as a vase. Modeling very flat, only
face, arms, and syrinx brought out. Slight traces of white. Height, 8.5 cm. Reddish yellow clay.

207. Head of archaic type, hollow, with vase orifice at the top. The hair seems to be held close
to the skull by a veil. Traces of white. Height, 7.5 cm. Red clay.

208. (Plate XLVII. 13.) Very similar head, also with orifice at top, and casque-like hair-
covering. Traces of white. Height, 6.5 cm. Red clay.

209. Eight fragments of similar heads, badly broken. General traces of white. Yellow clay,
shading to red.

These heads (Nos. 207-209) have the marks of the Rhodian ware as described by Heuzey ( Cat.
des Fig. du Mus. du Louvre, p. 220), " la machoire inferieure osseuse et developpee a. l'exces, ce
que nous appelons le menton galoche ; de gros yeux triangulares, dont la paupiere superieure est
seule arquee." They are probably, therefore, imported, although a few may be local imitations.
Cf. Heuzey, loc. cit. pp. 229, 230; Kekule, Ant. Terrakotten, II. p. 12, fig. 16, and p. 18, fig. 34;
Winter, Arch. Ann. 1893, p. 147, No. 28; Orsi, 'Megara Hyblaea,' Mon. Ant. I. p. 805.

210. (Plate XLVII. 15.) Head of pronounced archaic type — eyes set obliquely to nose,
mouth raised at corners. The headdress is very high, a sort of tiara (the kydaris?), and from it
a veil falls to the shoulders. Traces of white. Height, 7.5 cm. Clay, light yellow.

211. Three very similar heads, all with same headdress and veil. Slight traces of white.
Heights, 5.5 cm., 5.5 cm., and 7 cm. Yellow clay.

These heads (Nos. 210 and 211) again resemble very closely a Rhodian type (cf. Heuzey, Fig.
du Hits, du Louvre, pi. xi. 2), which is found pretty generally distributed in the basin of the
Mediterranean — in Greece, in Sicily, in Italy, and even in Phoenicia.1 Yet they show some di-
vergences, for instance, the eyes are not set quite so obliquely as those of the Rhodian figures,
and they are not so narrow ; so that they are probably of local manufacture, imitating Rhodian
work, like the Syracusan figures mentioned by Heuzey.2

212. (Plate XLVII. 14.) Archaic head, with elaborate treatment of the hair. This consists
of two rows of curls over the forehead, moulded in the form, then a row of elaborate applied spiral
curls, with eight curls at the back (now broken), the whole topped by a double, twisted taenia.
The eyes are wide and very long, nose in two planes, mouth straight, ending in a pad of flesh at
each corner; a deep furrow extends from cheek-bone to chin on each side of nose. Traces of
white. Height, 5 cm. Yellow clay.

213. (Plate XLVII. 12.) Large archaic head, very similar to No. 212. Same type of face.
The hair here consisted of a row of scallops moulded in the form, with a row of applied curls above
and large mass behind. The figure had large earrings, now broken. Traces of white. Height,
8.5 cm. Light \ellow clay.

These two heads (Nos. 212 and 213) differ greatly from the Argive type. Their nearest
