Museum Expedition 1905, Museum Collection Fund
This is a mixed string of brown beads and small shells. Measurements are when necklace is closed.
Kneeling figure. The head is elongated and topped with a round headdress that has a deep bowl at its centre. Scratches in the bowl suggest it was used as a container in some form. Carved into the face are eyes and a mouth, a hole for a right ear, and at left, a large oval shape. Below the short neck is a narrow chest and two arms bent so that the hands rest on the stomach, where a hole has been bored. The left side of the figure shows a leg bent at the hip and knee, indicating the figure is kneeling. The right side beneath the arm is not clearly carved.
Standing figure. The head is large and oblong to front and back, with large ears carved on either side, protruding eyes, a wide nose, and a hint of a mouth. Below a short neck is a round and protruding torso at the chest and buttocks, leading to combined legs that are bent at the knees. The arms of the figure are slightly bent and meet the lower body at the thighs, where the hands are smoothed into the legs. The figure stands on a circular base.
Marble figure of a woman (possibly the goddess Diana/Artemis?) standing with an animal to her left side (possibly a swan?). A thick cloak is draped over her shoulder. The figure is wearing a simple headdress and veil over her hair. The facial features are well defined. The bottom of the sculpture has been carved to form a thick round base.
Standing torso of a woman with drapery slung over the right shoulder, exposing the left breast. The folds in the drapery are thick and straight. An attempt has been made to show musculature beneath the drapery, especially at the legs and abdomen. The figure's head, right arm, left forearm, and legs are missing, leaving rough surfaces at the breakage points.
A rectangular fragment showing a carved falcon head. The fragment does not appear to have any finished sides and is therefore not a corner or other identifiable architectural piece. Details of the bird still exist, such as the tear duct and defined beak.
Stone carving of two separate figures that join into a common being below the chest. The left figure is slightly larger, with an elongated head and relatively well defined features carved into the face. Two arms start at the rear of the figure below the neck and wrap around both sides to the front. The smaller figure to the right also has a slightly elongated head. Much of the face has been obliterated, with the mouth and right eye remaining, as well as two ears that are carved into the sides of the head. This figure also has arms beginning at the back below the head and wrapping around to the front on both sides. The figures sit on a thick oval base carved out of the same piece of stone.
