 was found necessary to transfer operations to another site, 

 near Klaudia in the Larnaca district, also of the Mycenaean 

 period. Here, the chief results were obtained from one tomb 

 which was intact, and contained the following objects : 



(1.) A diadem of thin gold, with designs beaten up from 

 several moulds and repeated, representing a goat, a negro's 

 face, a small bull, a lion's head, and floral patterns. 



(2.) A haematite cylinder with an imitation Assyrian 

 design, a draped woman with hands raised in presence of a 

 male figure, a monkey, porcupines, ibexes, hares, and birds, a 

 guilloche border, a sun within a crescent, and two ankks. 



(3.) A steatite cylinder with winged female figure between 

 a gryphon and an ibex. 



(4.) A cylinder of speculum metal with cast design, palm- 

 tree and other patterns. 



(5.) A steatite amulet.
