Dorchester. 



A rude little female figure, 3in. long. 

 It is cast hollow. The features have been 

 almost wholly worn away. The head- 

 dress, with its lappels falling over the 

 breast, suggest that the figure is meant for 

 Isis or some other Egyptian goddess. 

 The arms are placed across the body. 

 The lower limbs are concealed by drapery, 

 or what seems to be meant for it. 



Dorchester. 



A helmeted female bust, iin. long, 

 probably meant for Minerva. Towards 

 the lower end of the back are the remains 

 of a rivet. The little bust may have been 

 a helmet ornament. 



Near Dorchester. 



An implement consisting of a thin, 

 fluted, and prettily twisted quadrangular 

 rod, sin. long over all, at one end beaten 

 out into a spoon in. long, and at the 

 other end into what seems to have been 

 a similarly-shaped termination, but flat. 

 This part is imperfect. Possibly this may 

 have been a modelling tool. 



Dorchester (?). 



Perhaps a stylus. It is a thin, slightly 

 curved, round rod, 4^111. long over all. At 

 each end the rod is worked into a four- 

 sided, fluted point, fin. long. This has 

 been called a Roman stylus. But from an 

 article and figure in the Archaeological 

 Journal, V. 161, it may seem to be a
