six pieces, its face entirely crushed. It carried on its head a round,
columnshaped head-dress, similar to that delineated in figure F, ornamented with
transverse furrows and ending upwards in a tenon. The ears were hidden
by square, flat pieces 21 cm. in length, resembling those of figure B. The
head itself was 39 cm. long from the base of the head-dress to the chin;
31 cm. broad across the forehead. The breadth across the schoulders was
60 cm.

PI. 5.
Male, standing figure. Head, chest with arms, and upper part of legs
broken off, and lying in four pieces on the ground. The pedestal was square,
with the upper part ornamented with angular wreaths; it remained fixed in the
ground in its original place, and carried still the feet and the legs (to the knees)
of the figure. The face was of quite a different type from those of A and B,
with very prominent cheekbones, large lips, and strongly protruding under-jaw;
it was adorned with a crowm-shaped head-gear. The ears were also here hidden
by flat pieces, thickening upwards, with the lower corners rounded. The back
of this statue, as well as its position in the periphery of the stone-mound, points
to its having formed part of the wall of the building; but it seems not, however,
to have served the purpose of supporting the roof, because the upper part
of the crown was finely chiselled, and exhibited no trace of a tenon. It differed
in this point from all the other statues in the circumference of the mound 1,
with the exception of E 1, that was situated almost opposite to D at the
western longside. The height of the head from the upper rim of the crown
to the lower edge of the chin was 45 cm. The length of the trunk from

the shoulders to the thighs was 60 cm. The breadth across the shoulders
was 54 cm.

Not figured.
At a distance of 5 m. from D, in the periphery of the mound, there
obliquely from the ground a male, half-sitting statue with its arms crossed.
