had been fashioned separately and fastened to the body by pressure, are missing. 

 Around the head is a band, part of which has fallen from the forehead and part

 the front and from the side, is shown in Figs. 49, 50. 



Isolated sherds showed fine ware with incised decoration. The complicated 

 stamp was represented by four varieties. 



No use of powdered shell with the paste was noted.
