Object: S 741
Inventory Number:   S 741
Section Number:   ΟΕ 220
Title:   Mold for a Bronze Statue
Category:   Misc. Moulds
Description:   Put together from many pieces; most of the legs, much of the hips, part of the back, and a fragment of the chin and mouth, remain, together with many non-joining fragments.
A standing male figure, about two-thirds life-size, its leg thrust forward. Over the (waxed) core, gritty clay was applied in three or four layers to a total thickness of 0.03m. to 0.045m. The outermost layer was fired red (from a preliminary baking); the innermost black, from the molten metal, particles of which cling to its surface.
For attachment to its base, a spike was let down from each heel. Note in the middle of the back a round hole, possibly for one of the pins that held the inner and outer polos in position.
S 797, B 1538, B 1541 (wrong number) are also parts of the same mould.
Cf. JdI 52 (1937), p. 37.
Notes:   1 frag. in S. workroom: was in CASE 47 and needs to be reshelved.
Context:   Found in a pit in bedrock between the Temple of Apollo and the Metroon; see notebook, vol. II, p. 382.
