PI. 38.

A human figure; the face in profile, high and narrow, with pointed nose
and thick, round chin. The eye was a pretty large, oval cavity. Above the
head were three plumes, broadening towards the end. Opposite to the face
was placed a figure possibly meant to represent the head of an animal, its
eye marked by an oval cavity. The neck of the human figure was
represented by a rectangle; the body appeared in profile, the breast was convex,
the back slightly concave. The arms and legs were represented «en face»,
the left arm in two parts, the right one in one; the left hand with two fingers,
the right one with six. The legs were short, curved; the feet indicated by
two ovals. Between the legs a second face was sculptured; the eyes were
two small cavities, the nose was a long furrow broader downwards, the mouth
a furrow broader in the middle. The length of the figure from the top of
the head to the lower edge of the foot was 161 cm.; the breadth across the
shoulders 55 cm.

the body convex before, straight behind; the arm raised, with three-fingered
hand, the tail projecting at a right angle, its end spirally wound; the leg
bent, with two feet, and the sexual organ behind. The length from the top
of the head to the lower foot was 80 cm.

PI. 38.

A monkey, very similar to the preceding, with larger and more convex
body; the arm with three indistinct fingers, the legs very short. The length
