Ilios; the city and country of the TrojansThe results of researches and discoveries on the site of Troy and throughout the Troad in the years 1871-72-73-78-79, including an autobiography of the author . rude,often of irregular form, always unpolished, and perfectly similar in shapeto those of the third, the burnt city, of which I have represented some underNos. 455 to 4G8 (p. 408). Or they are hand-made, and in this case theyare from 2 to 2 J in. deep and nearly 8 in. in diameter, made with greatsymmetry, well polished, and of a lustrous dark-brown or red colour;nay, on account of their depth they might rather be called bowls thanplates. They have generally no handle, but sometimes they have one, andeven two. There also occur double-handled bowls, 18 in. in diameter, andfrom 7 to 8 in. deep. The wheel-made plates have always a flat bottom ;the hand-made ones always a convex one. There also occur very rudewheel-made tripod plates, with sieve-like perforations. I represent hereunder No. 1127 a dark-brown hand-made plate or bowl of the usual formwith one handle, and under No. 1128 a hand-made lustrous-red plate ofa different shape, having a large cross painted with dark-red clay in its. Nos. 1127-1132. Bowls, Tripods, Bottle, and Yase of Terra-cotta. (1: 4 actual size. Depth, 13 to 19 ft.) hollow : this cross was evidently painted there before the plate wasbaked. Similar deep dishes or bowls, but wheel-made, found in Cyprus,are in the British Museum. The bottle, No. 1129, is hand-made. Thepretty tripod No. 1130 is wheel-made; the feet and the handle were addedafter the upper vessel had been fashioned; holes were made into whichthey were stuck, and in which they were consolidated with clay. In allvessels whose orifice was large enough to introduce the hand, the placeswhere the feet or handles had been stuck in were smoothed, so thatnothing appears of them on the inside of the vessels; but in the vesselswith a narrow mouth the feet and handles were often left protruding
