SCULPTURES FROM CARIA.

[Sidenote: =49.=]

A series of rude figures in stone and marble which are found in primitive graves in the islands of the Aegean, and in Caria, have been conjectured by archaeologists to be works of the early Carians. The figures in question are for the most part utterly conventional and gross representations of the female form. Male figures have also been occasionally found, and more elaborate subjects, such as a seated figure playing on the harp.

The specimens in the British Museum are exhibited in the First Vase Room with the pottery found in the same deposits. They are described in the _Guide to the First Vase Room_ (1883), p. 21, and in the _Journ. of h.e.l.len. Studies_, v., p. 50. Compare Perrot and Chipiez, v., pp. 334, 905; _Journ. of h.e.l.len. Studies_, ix., p. 82; _Athenische Mittheilungen_, xvi., p. 46.
