MOntz, La Tapisserie^ p. 22.
142 ORIENTAL ANTIQUITIES.
§ V. Ornaments and Cylindrical Seals.
The excavations in Chaldaea and Assyria have, down to this day, scarcely furnished us with any ornaments of gold or silver. However, we know from the inscrip- tions that these metals occupied the first rank, and were abundantly employed in the ornaments of the Ninevites and Babylonians. The tombs of primitive Chaldaea contained " bronze bracelets and ear-rings of the sim- plest form. These are circular ...rings, sometimes thinner at the two ends, which are both pointed.
At Khorsabad Botta found necklaces formed of precious stones pierced with holes, which were spheroidal in form or elongated like olives ; these balls of marble, jasper, chalcedony, amethyst, lapis lazuli, were some- times mixed with cylinders or other seals of conical shape. At Kouyunjik a necklace was discovered, formed of little golden balls alternating with little cylinders of the same metal. A bronze bracelet at the Louvre has lions' heads at the two extremities.
