PI. 37.

It may possibly have been intended to represent a very primitive human
figure. The face was formed by two concentric circles; the eyes and the
mouth were represented by three small shallow cavities. On the head there
was a kind of head-ornament, broader upwards, or possibly the face of an
animal, also marked with three cavities. The body was a rectangular
enlargement without arms, with a straight furrow in its middle; from its lower edge
there issued one long, straight leg, ending in a short foot, broadening outwards.
The entire length of the figure was 82 cm.; the breadth of the face was 16 cm.

This was possibly also meant to be a human figure, though the legs
were wanting. The face was a broad oval, with three holes situated more
to the right, representing the eyes and the mouth. On the head was a little,
tiara-shaped ornament. The arms were short, without an)- traces of hands.
The whole length was 70 cm., the breadth of the face was 20 cm.

PI. 37.

Human figure with arms and one leg. The face was nearly triangular
with rounded corners. Three holes represented the eyes and the mouth. On
the head was a high ornament, like that of the preceding figure. The arms
were hanging, of the same thickness with the shoulders. One short and thick
leg with a pointed foot. The length of the figure was 92 cm.; its breadth
across the shoulders was 26 cm.

t

PI. 37.

A spirall)- wound line running out into some irregular curves, the last
part quite straight. The diameter ot the spiral was 20 cm.
