The two fragments here described are all that are in the British Museum, but four other small pieces were also discovered, and are engraved Stackelberg, pl. 31; reproduced _Exp. de Morée_, ii., pl. 23, fig. 5; Cockerell, pl. 16. [Sidenote: =543.=] Fragment of the forepart of a right male foot, wearing a sandal. White marble; length, 6-1/2 inches. Stackelberg, pl. 31; Cockerell, pl. 16. [Sidenote: =544.=] Fragment with the palm and base of the thumb of a right hand. White marble; length, 6-1/4 inches. Stackelberg, pl. 31; Cockerell, pl. 16. MISCELLANEOUS SCULPTURES, OF THE FIFTH CENTURY. [Sidenote: =549.=] Bust of Pericles, wearing a helmet. Inscribed [Greek: Periklês] (fig. 23). Wolters assigns the original from which this fine bust is copied to the end of the fifth century, and suggests that it may have been the work of Cresilas, with reference to which Pliny (_H. N._ xxxiv., 74) states that he made an Olympian Pericles, worthy of the title, and ennobled a noble subject. Plutarch explains the presence of the helmet as caused by the ugly shape of the head of Pericles (Plutarch, _Pericles_, 3). It is, however, more probable that the helmet merely denotes military rank. _Found in the Villa of Cassius, at Tivoli, 1781._--_Townley Coll._ [Illustration: Fig. 23.--Bust of Pericles, No. 549.] Marble; height, 1 foot 11 inches. Restorations:--Nose, and small parts of helmet. Stuart, II., p. 42; _Mus. Marbles_, II., pl. 32; Ellis, _Townley Gallery_, II., p. 3; _Arch. Zeit._, 1868, pl. 2, fig. 1; Wolters, No. 481; Furtwaengler, _Berl. Philol. Wochenschr._, 1891, p. 286. Another copy, found at the same time as the present bust, is in the Vatican (Visconti, _Iconogr. Grecque_, pl. 15). [Sidenote: =550.=] Head of Asclepios? Colossal ideal bearded head. The hair falls in heavy masses over the forehead, and on each side of the head. A heavy metal wreath was fastened by numerous rivets, which still remain. The head was formed of three principal pieces of marble, the heaviest piece being so shaped that it kept its position by its own weight. The piece at the back of the head is lost. A small piece, which is now missing, was also attached behind the right ear. This head would serve as well for Zeus as for Asclepios, and it is possible that this may have been the original intention of the artist. It was, however, discovered in 1828, in a _Shrine of Asclepios, in Melos_. _Blacas Coll._
