Ægean archæeology; an introduction to the archæeology of prehistoric Greece . f/jr Fin. 6S.—Knossos; miniature fresco. Candia Museum.{After J.H.S., XX, PI. V.) has developed a sort of shorthand representation ;a crowd is shewn by a mass of faces, heads in outlinewith no bodies, and to indicate the difference betweenthe sexes the mens heads are drawn in outline on a redbackground, and the womens on a white one. Thiswas a very simple and summary method ; its effect isvery curious. These floating heads give an almost eerieimpression, as if we were looking at the ghosts of these1 A/ox- E<^. 1912, Pll.

At Mycenae was founda piece representing a scene of war, with chariots, horses, and warriors (Fig. 69), and the picture, already men-tioned, of ladies seated at a window decorated with1 Pseira, PL V. 188 AEGEAN ARCHAEOLOGY hanging garlands or swags suspended from smalldouble axes.i At Tiryns we have remains of hunting-scenes, very fine in colour, with splendid reds and blues(Fig. 70), like those of Hagia Triada and the miniature-frescoes. And further, we have remains of fine bandsof conventional ornament, notably one composed of arow of shields placed side by side, coloured to representthe
