Both the head and the full-length figure, here presented, illustrate four personages identical in all respects.181 They are the type of the Yellow races, in one of the tombs coeval with Mosaic times. Iiosellini, who wrote before the Persian andthe Nmevite arrow-heads were deciphered, suggested their resem-blance to the sculptures of Assyria and Persepolis. They portray,certainly, strong Chaldsean affinities, cognate with the Hebrew race ;and their elegant green dresses, embroidered with skilful taste, showa very polished people. Osburn figures them as Hamatliites—citizensof Hama.li, between Damascus and Aleppo, ever renowned for theirbeautiful manufactures, brocades, shawls; together with those richly-colored silk-and-cotton goods, now dear to Levantine merchants asAllagias; nor does his view militate against ours. Champollion-Figeac gives this effigy, with the conjecture of his brother that theyare Medes, corresponding to Persepolitan relievos. Chaldsea seemsto be the centre-point
