*Mi. xi. 00109. Stucco relief head; one from a series
of figs. of warriors. Fig. from crown of head to end of
coat of mail measured 16½″ (feet and crest are always
wanting), stood upright, and was seen full front.
Face has fierce expression well rendered; highly arched
black eyebrows are drawn down and in at their inner
corners, making vertical furrows in forehead and a ridge
across root of nose. Eyes prominent with heavily marked
lids, black lashes, and round protruding black eyeballs;
nose slightly aquiline with sharply cut nostrils; mouth
small and curved, full, with prominent hanging lower lip;
chin cleft. Face a rather long oval, coloured red (with
a good deal of ochre). Small black moustache and
imperial; lips crimson.
On head a close-fitting helmet, of lacquered leather
plates fitted with crest and cheek-pieces; a narrow plate
hangs from rim down forehead to root of nose. Rim of
helmet plain; three diminishing rows of plates, whose
curved overlapping edges run right to left from front
medial line, round helmet off to solid ring from which
a bevelled boss rose to form base of crest. Over the
temples came cheek-pieces, which were apparently continued
round back of head. They were formed of two horizontal
bands each containing two rows of leather scales, bordered
and divided by plain rims; the plain border with a certain
amount of scale-armour was continued under chin and
united with gorget. From sides projected grotesque ear-
pieces, formed of double incurved volute. The whole helmet
seems to have been painted one colour, red or green.
For heads, see Mi. xi. 00110-11, and xii. 009-13; cf.
also Mi. xi. 00112.
Body wholly cased in scale-armour. From close under
chin a smooth gorget (green) protected neck and upper
part of chest. The coat of mail had a heavy rolled
border; it came high up at back of neck, spread out to
sq. points on shoulders and curved to meet just below
collar-bone; from the fastening the two edges ran down
together to belt. Sleeves were long.
Throughout two horizontal rows of scales form a unit
and are divided from next two by a raised band; each
unit is painted green, or red, or gilded, colours usually
alternating. Border red. The belt is a double cord, red.
Below it hangs a sq. cord-piece, with three double rows of
smaller scales. The trousers apparently made in same
piece; they are flat and baggy and have fringed ends
reaching about half-way down shin. For bodies, see Mi.
xi. 00112-13; xii. 0014-17; xv. 0018.
In his L. hand the warrior held a round shield fitted
