navel; the head was broken off, but was found close to the statue. The statue
was very well sculptured, but not so carefully finished as the preceding one.
The forehead was adorned with a low turban or round band, upon which
was placed the heavy capital, with carvings in relief on the sides. The
capital was surmounted by the square-shaped tenon, the lower part of which
was surrounded by twenty staves with rounded tips. These ornaments seem
to indicate, that in this statue, as well as in the former one, which was
adorned with a double frame, the lower part of the tenon has been visible,
and only its uppermost portion inserted into the plate of the building. The face
and chest were well preserved, although not so accurately rendered as in A.
The mouth was half-open, the eyes were well marked, deep cut, the ears hidden
by large, square, flat, and grooved pieces. The breasts were held up by
a double, round band. The breadth across the shoulders was extraordinarily
great. The shoulders were high and thin, the arms very short and feeble
in proportion to the body, not entirely detached, but much more so than
in A. The length of the statue from the upper edge of the tenon to the
knee was 226 cm., the breadth across the shoulders 66 cm.; the length of
the tenon 34 cm.

PI. 4.
Male, half-sitting figure, with straight hanging arms; of considerably less
size than A and B, and very badly damaged. The head and neck were broken
off, and crushed into small fragments, impossible to reconstruct. The pedestal
was round, column-shaped, without any ornaments. The figure had powerful
arms, detached from the sides of the body. The legs were unusually thick and,
strong the feet clumsy, with thick, short toes. In the middle of the chest there
was a carved oval, with a little circle in its centre. The length of the statue
from the shoulder to the sole of the foot was 110 cm., the breadth across the
shoulders 56 cm.

Not figured.
