| Scope and Content |
Card base with 8 illustrations attached. The number 156 is written in the lower left corner. The illustrations are labelled with pasted letters a-g, with the letter g applying to both the lower two. Each illustration (and the final two as a pair) has a later annotation in pencil giving a bibliographic reference. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Ivory plaques (a-f), for the most part affixed to the front of bronze brooches (fibulae). They belong to the years about 700 B.C.: (a) is rather earlier than the rest; (f) rather later. g. Ivory lion holding a calf; before 600 B.C. Several such figures were found: compare the man stabbing the lioness (160b) and the couchant animals (160f); but these figures are much larger and of rather later date." |
