Of a similar shape are the dark yellow orbrown amphorae, Nos. 420, 421, 422. This last has on the body a longexcrescence in the form of a breast or teat curved downward. As avery great number of the large Trojan jugs have a similar excrescence,always curved downward, I would suggest that these excrescences,which have almost the form of hooks, served as an additional supportfor the rope with which the Trojan women fastened the jugs on theirbacks when they fetched water from the springs. Amphorae like theseare very abundant in all the three upper pre-historic cities at Hissarlik, 398 THE THIED, THE BURNT CITY. [Chap. VII. but, strange to say, the shapes of Nos. 419, 420, 421, 422 have never yetbeen found
