FACE SIGN FOR The variation in these faces is so great that it can only be accounted for on thetheory that the sculptors assumed that everybody must know what the current cyclewas, and therefore carved the sign with the greatest freedom in initial dates. Thissurmise is rendered probable by the fact that when they came to inscribe it in the bodyof the text they exercised more care, its numerous representations there being veryuniform. Its characteristics in this position are the peculiar forehead ornament andthe thick protruding lips shown in the first of the above signs, the latter giving theface an expression of uncommon stolidity and solemnity. A circle of dots and a linewith a curve in the middle appear frequently on the cheek of this face ; but as neitheris constant, and as both are sometimes found on other faces, I doubt if they are to beconsidered as distinguishing traits.
