\f1 \fs22 At Carthage and the other colonies of the Mediterranean we find a considerably higher output of stelae and f
igured razors than in Phoenicia, and in fact Eastern prototypes of the latter are completely absent. In the case of the sneering masks and scarabs, the ones found in the West are completely different from those in the East, since the Phoenician colonies
in the West were subject to the influence of the local populations and the classical world, resulting in innovations in art that were lacking in the Phoenician motherland.\par
