decorated with a rosette (h) is very similar to those found at Mycenae, and a conventionalized eagle (k) is characteristic of much of the detail found at that place as well as at Hissarlik. They were all of pure gold, and the wire must have been drawn through a plate of harder metal--probably bronze. The principal ornaments differing from those found at Mycenae are diadems or head fillets of pure hammered gold (b) cut into thin plates, attached to rings by double gold wires, and fastened together at the back with thin twisted wire. To these pendants (of which those at the two ends are nearly three times the length of those forming the central portions) are attached small figures, probably of idols. It has been assumed that these were worn across the forehead by women, the long pendants falling on each side of the face. [Illustration: FIG. 15.] The jewelry of the close of the Mycenaean period is best represented by the rich finds of the cemetery of Enkomi near Salamis, in Cyprus. This field was excavated by the British Museum in 1896, and a considerable portion of the finds is now at Bloomsbury. It was rich in all forms of jewelry, but especially in pins, rings and diadems with patterns in relief. In its geometric patterns the art of Enkomi is entirely Mycenaean, but special stress is laid on the mythical forms that were inherited by Greek art, such as the sphinx and the gryphon. Figs. 37-48 (Plate I.) are examples of the late Mycenaean treasures from Enkomi. " 37, 38 " Ear-rings. " 39 " Diadem, to be tied on the forehead. The impressed figure of a sphinx is repeated twelve times. " 40, 41, 46 " Ear-rings, originally in bull's head form (fig. 40). Later, the same general form is retained, but decorative patterns (figs. 41, 46) take the place of the bull's head. " 42 " Pin, probably connected by a chain with a fellow, to be used as a cloak fastening. " 43 " Pomegranate pendant, with fine granulated work. " 44, 45 " Pins as No. 42. The heads are of vitreous paste. " 46 (See above.) " 47 " Pendant ornament, in lotus-form, of a pectoral, inlaid with coloured pastes. " 48 " Small slate cylinder, set in filigree. Another find of importance was that of a collection of gold ornaments from one of the Greek islands (said to be Aegina) which also found its way to the British Museum. Here we find the themes of archaic Greek art, such as a figure holding up two water-birds, in immediate connexion with Mycenaean gold patterns.
