  tassels, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  blue 
  crescent-shaped 
  mark 
  on 
  the 
  glabella, 
  

   just 
  below 
  the 
  supraorbital 
  red 
  line. 
  

  

  Although 
  stated 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  " 
  woman 
  of 
  Nagheer," 
  there 
  can 
  bo 
  little 
  

   doubt, 
  from 
  its 
  general 
  appearance, 
  that 
  this 
  skull 
  is 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  man. 
  

   It 
  is 
  a 
  remarkably 
  fine 
  and 
  typical 
  head, 
  and 
  has 
  therefore 
  been 
  

   thought 
  worthy 
  of 
  a 
  figure. 
  The 
  peculiar 
  roof-like 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  

   crown 
  is 
  noticeable, 
  a 
  state 
  of 
  skull 
  called 
  " 
  ill-filled 
  " 
  by 
  Dr. 
  

   Cleland. 
  

  

  " 
  These 
  skulls 
  are 
  placed 
  on 
  the 
  graves 
  where 
  the 
  bodies 
  of 
  their 
  

   original 
  possessors 
  lie, 
  and 
  are 
  surrounded 
  with 
  idols, 
  models 
  of 
  

   snakes, 
  &c., 
  which 
  are 
  supposed 
  to 
  guard 
  the 
  dead."
