KARA-SHAHR AND ITS RUINED SITES   [Chap. XXIX

five bosses and incised double circle round edge (centre blue, border and bosses red ; xii. ooi8, 0019), meant clearly of leather ; or a bead border was added (xi. oo r 14) ; or the centre was occupied with an elaborate Gorgoneion

relief (xii. 0020-2 ; xvii. 007).   In this the head, with
flame-like hair, prominent ears, prominent eyes set in boldly modelled brows, high cheek-bones, turned-up nose, grinning mouth with fang-like teeth and suggestion of lolling tongue, certainly goes back in all details to a classical prototype. This relief may be intended for metal ; it is painted green against a red border. The L. hand moreover held a lance, added in wood (xii. 008).

This scale-armour, on which holes for thongs are clearly shown, is obviously of type of actual armour frs. from Milan fort (M. z. ix. 002, etc.). Mi. xi. oo III (Pl. CXXXV) shows a variant of the helmet. In Mi. xi. 00109, head, ears, and plume missing ; plastered with mud. Chin to forehead 2'.

Mi. xi. ooiio. Stucco relief head of warrior ; from same mould as *Mi. xi. 00109. Face only, colour well preserved on face, gone on helmet. Cracked. Chin to forehead 2'.

Mi. xi. o011i. Stucco relief head of warrior like *Mi, xi. 00109, but simpler and smaller. Five lines incised from brow to crown indicate nature of helmet. No colour. (Now joined to Mi. xii. 0015, 0017.) Chin to forehead

A lump of clay over R. breast may indicate a shield on R. arm. L. arm broken at elbow, held well forward. A thin decorated sheet of clay has been passed edgeways into body sloping from L. breast into waist. Possibly fig. riding, carrying shield on R. arm, holding reins in L. hand, and leaning heavily forward against high crupper. H. 5" ; across shoulder 4r. Chin to forehead r é". Pl. CXXXV.
