supported upon its head the large head of some animal. The entire figure was
heavy and clumsy, but the circumstance of the muscles of the body being
indicated both in front and behind, makes it not improbable that this statue has stood
insulated, like K. The arms were quite detached from the body, and
uncommonly thick and heavy, as were also the legs. The hands were heavily pressed
against the block, on which the figure was seated, the right hand with the palm,
the left one with the knuckles. The most remarkable feature of this statue was
perhaps the bench on which it was seated; this was cut out from the block so
as to be quite free and detached. The statue, like all above described ones,
was sculptured from a single block, a monolith. The height of the statue
from the shoulders to the upper edge of the pedestal was 107 cm. The breadth
across the shoulders was 69 cm. It was found pretty close to the mound 4.

Not figured.
Male, standing figure, its head adorned by a high conical head-dress.
Very like the figure F. Its face was hidden by a mask, with round holes for
the eyes. It had a long, hanging beard or breast-armour. The arms were
stretched straight down. It was broken in four fragments, and was found
in the periphery of the mound 5.

Female, sitting figure, with a child in its lap. It has probably stood
insulated, as the back portions were pretty well elaborated, and, besides, the
pedestal was adorned with a free border, which was not the case in any of
the statues remaining in the circumference of the mound 1. This statue was,
more-over, remarkable by its large head, not being turned straight forward,
but somewhat upwards and side-ways. The statue was rudely executed, far
inferior in workmanship to most of those mentioned before. There was no
attempt at imitating the muscles of the body; the arms and legs were thin
and short, not detached from the block. It was only in the molding of
