and the nose were straighter than those figured by SQUIER. The ears were
long, hanging, like the ears of a dog. The upper arm was very short; the
abdomen swollen. Legs and feet were thick and clumsy. The back piece was
very large in proportion ro the figure, only plane-cut, and seemed to indicate
that the statue had formed part of a wall or even served as a kind of coulisse
or side-wall in a cella. The lower part of the back piece was pierced with
a circular hole; another much larger hole perforates the pedestal, which was
perfectly unadorned. The statue measured 98 cm. from the crown of the head
to the sole of the foot. It was found lying near the preceding.

Figured by SQUIER, 1. c., on the plate facing p. 52, described p. 52
and 58. Bancroft, 1. c., p. 42, fig. 3.
Male, standing figure, with the hands resting on the abdomen. In this
statue also the back piece was very large, proportionately even larger than
in the preceding; on this account it may be conjectured to have had a similar
use. The face was rather large and round, the forehead somewhat retiring,
the eyes small, oval, the nose short, broad, and straight, the mouth closed,
with thick lips, the chin broad; the ears were hidden by the projecting back
piece which embraced, as it were, and overlapped the face. The chest was
well cut. The arms, when viewed from the front, were very thin, pressed
close to the sides of the body and to the back piece; when seen from the
side, they are, on the contrary, broad and fleshy. The hands rested on the
abdomen with the fingers somewhat extended. The legs were rather clumsy.
The broad back piece projected above the head like a colossal mitre,
ornamented in front with bosses and scrolls, and surrounded by a broad frame.
The height of the entire statue from the top of the upper piece to the sole
of the figure’s foot, was 210 cm.; its greatest breadth from the chest of the
figure to the hinder margin of the back piece was 86 cm. The height of the
figure from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot was 140 cm. The
length of the face was 31 cm., its breadth across the shoulders was 36 cm.
It had been raised up at a recent date, and now stood south of the mound I.
