served to support a roof, as the upper part of the head of the upper figure
wanted every trace of a tenon, and was carefully finished. It represented
a male figure, somewhat stooping, with bent arms, the hands leaning on
the hips. Upon this human figure that of an animal was seated, embracing
intended to represent a monkey. The male figure had an ugly face, with a
long straight nose; the eyes were formed by quite circular cavities, the mouth
was widely open, and the chin very short. The ears were covered by thick,
square, flat pieces, as in the image B. The neck was long, the shoulders
were much raised, large and powerful; the arms were bent, pressed close to
the sides of the body, very narrow when seen from the front, broad and flat
when seen side-ways. The chest and stomach were pretty roughly worked;
the muscles however were sharply marked. The legs were short, without any
trace of muscles or even of knees. The feet were completely wanting, the
legs being abruptly cut off. The second figure, the monkey, rested its lower
jaw upon the head of the principal figure, clasping the hind part of it with
its long fingers. The head was large, with prominent muzzle and jaws, low,
curved forehead, and broad nose, with round nostrils. The hanging ears were
long and broad, rounded backwards. The mouth was open, showing strong,
sharp teeth. The fore-legs or arms were very long, the fore-arm was bent
at a right angle to the upper arm, the shoulder-blades were very broad and
powerful. The back was strongly curved inwards, the tail long, longer than
the animal itself, hanging straight down. The hind legs were short, strongly
bent, drawn up towards the abdomen, and abruptly cut off above the feet,
as in the principal figure. The length of the statue from the top of the
animal’s head to the upper edge of the pedestal was 175 cm. The breadth
of the human figure across the shoulders was 31 cm.; the breadth of the
monkey across the shoulders was 21 cm.
Not figured.
It was of the same kind as G, i. e. representing a human figure, on
whose shoulders and head an animal was seated. It was much damaged,
with its fore-paws the head of the male figure. The animal was probably
