Ilios : the city and country of the Trojans : the 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. ,but all of them are thoroughly baked, and have never any incised or paintedornamentation. But much more abundant here are the objects of terra-cotta, but slightly baked, in the form of our watches, with two perforations §1.] WAX-VOTOS WITH STAMPS. 619 near the border. Many of these objects are round; in many others the border, just above the two perforations, is flattened. In most instances these objects are decorated with a stamp, in which we see a dogs head, a bee with extended wings, a flying figure, a swan, &c.: this stamp is sometimes in the middle of the object, sometimes on the flat border. But many of them have no stamp, and in this case they are generally much larger, more bulky, of coarser clay and fabric, and more thoroughly baked. Those with stamps are usually of a much better fabric and less baked, probably in order that the stamp might not be injured by long exposure to the fire. Of this latter class I represent seven under Nos. 1466 to 1472. We see in the stamp on. No. 1465. Fragment of painted Greek (Half actual size. Depth, 2 to 3 ft.)
