The head and the uppermost part of the chest with the exception of the
right shoulder were wanting, and could not be identified among the existing
fragments. It wore a beard reaching to the crossed arms, being in this
respect as well as in posture and workmanship very like F. It measured
102 cm. from the shoulder to the thighs. The breadth across the shoulders
seemed to have been less than 50 cm.
D 2
Not figured.
Near the place that ought to have been occupied by the next statue,
there were lying fragments of an unusually narrow, square pedestal or pillar.
It was narrower than the following E, but in other respects it resembled this
more than it did any of the others found here.
E
PI. 5.
Contrary to the other images of this mound, indeed, of this whole locality,
it did not represent a human figure, but formed a squarfe pillar, provided with
carvings on its front side. It carried a narrower superstructure (tenon), bordered
in front by a sharp-cut frame, 6 cm. broad, 3 cm. deep. The carvings on
the front side of the pillar itself consisted of wreaths somewhat more than
2 cm. deep with a breadth varying from 3 to 5 cm. They appeared to
represent the head of an animal with an eye surrounded by two concentric
circles. The sides of the pillar were narrower, smooth, without any traces
of wreaths, but bordered by a square-cut frame, 6 cm. broad and 3 cm.
deep. The back of the pillar, which was turned towards the building, was
rough, without any frame. The front side was provided with a frame only
above, and along the eastern side. The front side of the pillar was 50 cm.
broad, the lateral sides 37 cm. broad. The tenon was 40 cm. in height
by 38 cm. in breadth. The pillar was so deeply imbedded in the ground,
that in spite of our digging strenuously, I did not succeed to lay bare
more than about 125 cm. of its length, reckoned from the upper edge of
the tenon.
