Bayındır/Elmalı. Tumulus D. - 11.21.87
A hollow cast silver figure with incised decoration. This figure is dressed in a belted pleated robe extending from the neck to the ground. The forearms have bracelets and the head is framed by plaits of coiled hair and is crowned by a polos type headdress decorated with incised decoration in three bands, the middle being of a zig-zag pattern. The back of the head of this figure seems to have been shaved and this figure may represent a priest eunuch of Kybele.
