SCULPTURES FROM CARIA. [Sidenote: =49.=] A series of rude figures in stone and marble which are found in primitive graves in the islands of the Aegean, and in Caria, have been conjectured by archæologists to be works of the early Carians. The figures in question are for the most part utterly conventional and gross representations of the female form. Male figures have also been occasionally found, and more elaborate subjects, such as a seated figure playing on the harp. The specimens in the British Museum are exhibited in the First Vase Room with the pottery found in the same deposits. They are described in the _Guide to the First Vase Room_ (1883), p. 21, and in the _Journ. of Hellen. Studies_, v., p. 50. Compare Perrot and Chipiez, v., pp. 334, 905; _Journ. of Hellen. Studies_, ix., p. 82; _Athenische Mittheilungen_, xvi., p. 46. [Sidenote: =50.=] Torso of female figure holding a dove between her breasts with the left hand, and holding with the right hand a fold of drapery by her right side. She wears a long dress, girt at the waist, with a diploïdion and sleeves. The head, and the legs from above the knees are wanting.--_Theangela, in Caria._ Marble; height, 1 foot 3 inches. [Sidenote: =51.=] Beardless male head, having a considerable resemblance to No. 19.--_From the Temple of Apollo, Calymna._ Marble; height, 9 inches. Assigned by Collignon (_Gaz. Arch._, 1886, p. 239) to the same school as No. 205. SCULPTURES FROM RHODES. [Sidenote: =52.=] Female head. The hair is parted over the middle of the head, and is brought in waving ripples to the ears. At the back of the head it is sketched in conventional lines. The head is bound with a taenia.--_Rhodes._ Marble; height, 8-1/2 inches. [Sidenote: =53.=] Female head broken off at the top of the neck. The hair is brought forward over each temple in a plait; a piece of linen is wound round the head, passing under a band or diadem which encircles the head behind the ear. The head-dress is arranged so as to leave on the top of the head an aperture, through which the parting of the hair and a top-knot are shown. Over the upper part of the ear hang what appear to be three pendants; the lobe below is covered with an earring in the form of a circular flower of seven leaves. On the fractured edge of the neck are remains of drapery.--_Rhodes._ Limestone; height, 5 inches. [Sidenote: =54.=] Female figure seated in a chair, with footstool.--_Camiros._ Limestone; height, 4-1/8 inches. [Sidenote: =55.=] Naked male figure; the legs broken off above the knees. The palms of the hands are placed against the thighs; the left leg has been advanced; parts of the arms are wanting. The hair is drawn back from the forehead in a smooth mass, and falls behind the ears over the nape of the neck, where it is cut off square. There are traces of red above the waist.--_Camiros._ Limestone; height, 10 inches. [Sidenote: =56.=]
