By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, October 19.—An- nouncement of the receipt by the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania Museum of two bronze heads of goats, sald to be more than 3,000 years old, and an ancient Babylonian boundary stone bearing an inscription referring to King Nebuchad- nezzar, was made today by Horace H. F. Jayne, director of the museum. 3 The anclent relics came to the museum through a bequest of the late Herman V. Hilprecht, who excavated them in Bablyonia during his explora- tions there. Mr. Jayne said the bronze heads were among the most notable works of art ever brought from Mesopotamia. They were discovered by Dr. Hilprecht in 1900 at the site of ancient Fara and represent the wild Asiatic goat charac- terized by its spirall ytwisted horns. The eyes are inlaid with shell and simi- lar markings are apparent around the throat. “The boundary stone of Nebuchad- is a historical document of great T Mr. Jayne stated. “It was made about the same time that, ac- cording to the Bible, Jerusalem was sacked in the sixth century B.C. It is a rough cylindrical stone about two feet high and around the top are carved symbols of the gods of Assyria and the signs of the Zodiac. “Below these svmbols and signs are many inscriptions in cuneiform writing. beginning with a very majestic and hitherto unknown hymn to EIll, the chief god of Nebuchadnezzar's people. A number of scholars who have de- ciphered this hymn have been im- pressed by the particular beauty of the expression and the cadence of the com- position and have declared it to be equal if not superior to the Psalms.” LECTURES LISTED BY HISTORY CLUB Prominent Speakers Are Ob- tained for Series of 22 Scheduled Talks.
