Late 6th or 5th C. BC? (Geç Lidya (Pers))
A straight rectangular cut was made to seat the neck, head, and part of the wing (rectangle: W. 0.19, L. 0.15; dowel hole: diam. 0.035, D. 0.035). Judging from the cutting, the head may have been slightly turned to the proper r. The tail is slung up ...

4th or 3rd C. BC? (Geç Lidya (Pers)?)
Unlike Cat. 41 (Figs. 142-143), this sphinx is made in one piece with the lower back part of the throne. The body is partly in the round (at the front and on top) and partly in relief and, unlike Cat. 41, the relief background extends under the body ...

(Lidya?)
The soft and simple treatment of the frog’s body is very effective. This simplicity (from above the frog looks like an archaic lion) and the very straight line down the spine suggest an archaic monument. The channel might indicate that the piece was ...

5th-4th C. BC? (Geç Lidya (Pers)?)
The thick relief block shows an animal charging or rearing to the l. Only the body remains; most of the neck, legs, and tail are broken off. Perhaps the tail curved over the back since there is a trace of the end in the appropriate position. Accordin...

The plain shaft rises from a simple low rectangular base. The proportion of shaft H. to W. is 4:1. Unlike Cat. 45 and Cat. 46 (Figs. 148-151) the convex volutes rose from two central stems; the eye was an elaborate plastic rosette. A thin, "mannerist...

The finial consisted of two spirals symmetrically placed in lyre-like design. H.C. Butler writes, "The two double reversed scrolls carried some crowning feature like a palmette. The scrolls were described by pulvinated bands with raised flat edges. T...

The carefully cut ornament includes part of a downward-pointed lotus with five thin leaves, a concave leaf-like ending to the lower part of a volute, and a rounded part above. The finial projected sideways from the shaft. The leaf-like volute end con...

6th C. BC? (Lidya?)
The slab, probably a door lintel rather than a doorjamb, must come from a chamber tomb in the mound. It is decorated on one side with two connected spirals incised within a panel with raised edges. K. J. Frazer observed that the rougher areas outside...

The tall relief is crisply cut and smoothed. Part of the lotus and the tip of a palmette are at the top l. The central leaf rises to a sharp median ridge, the l. leaf to a less marked one. Found in the top layer of LA 2, the late archaic piece may be...
