There is much richness and beauty in many of the slabs now in the Phoenician collection of the Louvre, especially in those which exhibit the forms of sphinxes or griffins. Many of the patterns most affected are markedly Assyrian in character, as the rosette, the palm-head, the intertwined ribbons, and the rows of gradines which occur so frequently.
