and 26 feet, was exposed a specimen (G.K. 140) of the same type as G.K. 109 (plate 51, fig. 7). To these there is to be added a third type: (3) fragment of a leaf-shaped arrow-point, strongly oxidized (G.K. 138; plate 51, fig. 5), from the wash on the surface near gallery II.

Like the three-edged arrow-points, the following finds also recall the excavations at the South Kurgan of Anau :

A bronze stamp with a semiannular eye on the back, decorated in front with four curves bent inward (G.K. 4; plate 51, fig. 8), from the upper digging, between io inches and 2 feet 4 inches. A bronze object (G.K. 178; plate 51, fig. 9), is probably the foot of an implement. It was found in the outer digging II. Indeterminable is a small bronze plate with two holes for attachment and a comb-like edge (G.K. 59; plate 51, fig. io), also from the outer digging.

A remarkable object (G.K. 87) is an iron seal-ring ornamented with figures (plate 51, fig. 1 1). It was found on the surface of the city plateau near outer digging I. In the ornamentation one can recognize a sitting and a standing figure.
