The bottom is made in two superimposed parts, one providing the actual floor of the box, the other, fastened to the first by ivory pegs, is a separate piece which provides a base for the whole. Traces of a metal lining, analyzed as tin, were found inside the box.; The carved decoration, in fairly high relief, shows, on the lid, a griffin, crested, right, tearing two small deer. On the wall two similar griffins are represented at a larger scale, one right, the other left; they also are attacking deer both large and small. Considerably indications of a landscape backround. Close under the rim, two (?) horizontal lug-like handles, long, and slightly projecting, formed by the bodies of crouching animals; one of these fairly complete, the other fragmentary. Probably two pairs each formed by a lion and a deer. Pierced vertically.; Border decoration at top and bottom, two zones of incised S-curved lines.","","26 May 1939","","","Carved Ivory Pyxis","Agora:Object:BI 511","","Object","Agora"

The pins, much mended and in both cases broken at both ends, consists each of a long piece, oval in section for most of the preserved length, but flattened toward the end at which they are attached to the bars; at the point of attachment, they curve around to form a sharp hook, projecting beyond the line of the bar. The outer edge of the pin on a), near the point of attachment, is serrated, and the serrations continue around the edge of the hook part. A similar serrated piece appears to belong to b).; Nothing of any catch at the opposite end is preserved, nor is it clear how bar and pin were fastened together.; ; c) is a plain rounded fragment of a pin perhaps from a similar brooch.","","2 June 1939","","","Two Ivory or Bone Brooches or Hair Ornaments","Agora:Object:BI 514","","Object","Agora"
