32 Colossal figure of a priest, offering a branch wiih three flowers. S3, 34 Colossal eagle- headed Deities, (Nisroch), with wings extended holding in the left-hand a basket, and presenting with the right-hand a pine cone. The pine cone in the hand of the god and upon his robe are emblem- atic of strength and prtde ; for the Assyrians and other nations as will as great ear-rings and bracelets, fringed and embroidered robes, long beards, and flowing hair. The Hametic race, on the contrary, as sh...own in the sculpture of Egypt, have short beards — no ear-rings — short robes — and generally naked bodies. The Japhetic race, exhibited in the Greek sculpture, show less abun- dance of ornament. 36 Warrior hunting the Lion.
