Idol of Trachyte. (About 1:3 actual size.Depth, 20 ft.) is distinctly marked on the backof the head. Nos. 195, 196 re-present the very rude terra-cotta idol referred to before ; itis so rudely made that the eyes, for instance, are above the eye-brows, and the vulva just belowthe beak, but still the form isthat of all the other idols: thelong scratchings on the back, Chap. VIL] IDOLS OF TEllEA-COTTA, BONE, MARBLE, ETC. 333 indicating the hair, are very characteristic. No. 197 represents, in about2 : 5 size, a marble idol 5^^ in. long and 3 in. broad. No. 198 is the above-mentioned idol of terra-cotta, which is bulged on both sides, and has twolarge eyes and an owl-beak slightly protruding. Nos. 199 and 200 are the. No. 202. Marble Idol. (Actual size. Depth, about 28 ft.) above-mentioned two flat idols of bone. Of a similar shape to No. 195, butvery thick and somewhat bulged, is the idol No. 201 (referred to above), which is of trachyte, 9^ in. long and 6 in. broad. This is the secondlargest idol of trachyte found by me at Hissarlik, the usual material ofthe idols being white marble; those of mica-schist, bone, or terra-cotta, 334 THE THIED, THE BURNT CITY [Chap. VII, are comparatively rare. No. 202 is an idol of marble, on which the owl-figure is merely marked with black clay. No. 203 represents the fragment of a terra-cotta idol with the owl-head : the three strokes on the neck may probably be intended to indicatethe necklace: the hair is indicated on the back.
