2hin, pellet earrings & (3.)

Went through the remainder of Yeroskipo t. c.'s, samples of which Dikaios had brought through to Episkopi & which we have noted. There are 400 - 500 pieces, which do not represent the whole favissa; they were not broken intentionally before burial. No pottery fragments were found with them. About 80 % are standing solid female votaries with or without pellet breasts with pellet mouths ears & noses & fan-shaped headdress. Both arms are raised high at the sides, palms facing. In addition, there are a few with band headdress playing tambourines. There are fragments of one or two ring-dances with central sacred tree (all solid).

A very few are larger hollow more elaborate figures with long hair, earrings, etc. One of these is molded in 6 C. Cent. style. Another molded fragment is a small hollow hieratically seated draped figure (no head).
