TRANSACTIONS OF THE PLYMOUTH INSTITUTION. 
chevron band is another double row of dentures; then comes a 
projecting band, continued downward in the contour of the urn ; 
and then again more chevrons. How these were finished there is 
no direct evidence ; but another fragment indicates a pattern com- 
posed of two lines of single dentures, with regular diagonal lines 
of single marks between, somewhat resembling the ornament of 
the inner rim, and this was probably the termination. 
The handles are ornamented round the holes by a band of 
coupled markings. On the exterior faces there are three lines of 
coupled dentures dividing the space into one large semi-central and 
three smaller side panels. The central division is filled in with a 
row of chevrons ; each side division with diagonal rows. 
The character of the urn and of the ornament will however best 
be gathered in all probability from the restoration annexed. At 
the side is indicated the arrangement of the coupled markings. 
I may add that the urn was shown to Mr. A. W. Franks, f.r.s., 
f.s.a., of the British Museum and Christie Collections, and that he 
agreed that it was British, and of high antiquity.
