This paper contains a short catalogue of sculptures from Telos, and discusses problems related to the archaeological investigation of the island.1. Fragment of the upper part of a large grave stele. The head of a mourning maidservant with short hair, in right profile, is preserved. The stele was possibly erected on the wall of a family grave enclosure. Third quarter of the 4th c. BC.2. Fragment of the upper left corner of a grave stele. The outline of a head, now destroyed, is preserved, which probably belonged to a woman wearing a sakkos. It is perhaps from a scene typical in Attic grave reliefs depicting the maidservant standing before her seated dead mistress.3. Lower part of an inscribed marble grave stele with the lower half of a woman in the Pudicitia type. To her left is a badly preserved figure of a maidservant holding a box. First half of the 2nd c. BC. The inscription, which dates from the 2nd or 3rd c. AD, is associated with the second use of the stele.4. Lower part of an inscribed marble grave stele with the lower half of a female figureand a small bird. Hellenistic period. Known from a drawing by Th. Bent.5. Relief grave stele with a scene of two women embracing each other. The subject, which was quite popular in Rhodian Hellenistic workshops, made its first appearance in the late 5th c. BC (stele of Krito and Timarista). The inscription, which is associated with the first use of the stele, dates the relief to the 1st c. BC. A later inscription shows that the stele was reused in the 2nd or 3rd c. AD.6. Badly preserved grave stele dating from the 3rd c. BC, with simplified figures in rectangular fields. Product of a Nisyros workshop.7. Marble head, probably detached from a relief. Uncertain identification. From either an architectural relief with figured scenes or a grave stele, possibly depicting an athlete or hero-warrior. Late Hellenistic period.8. Small “Doppelherm”. Comparison with the large “Doppelherm” A 4360 and A 4262 + A 1737 from Delos, and also with Γ 2438 in the Rhodes Museum, suggests that the Telos “Doppelherm” may have had a depiction of Harpokrates. Late Hellenistic period.
