A nude youth stands, half turned to the left, and takes some object,
perhaps a lekythos, from a boy standing before him. The boy is nude
except for a chlamys thrown over his left shoulder, which is probably
that of the older youth. Compare the Parthenon frieze, north side,
figure No. 110. The relief is bounded by two pilasters surmounted by
a pediment. On the side of one of the pilasters is the inscription
[Greek: ÊDD].--_Delos._ _Presented by A. E. Impey, Esq., 1825._

Marbles_, XI., pl. 50; Ellis, _Townley Gallery_, II., p. 205.

A nude male figure, Tryphon, stands, half turned to the left, having
a chlamys above the left arm, and a strigil in the right hand. The
attitude is similar to that of the Hermes of Andros. Compare the copy
from the Farnese Collection in the British Museum.

[Sidenote: =628.=]
Sepulchral monument of Xanthippos. An elderly bearded figure is seated
on a chair. He holds a foot in his extended right hand. Diminutive
figures of a woman and a girl stand beside him. The girl is gazing
at the foot, and raises her hands towards it, while the woman looks
towards Xanthippos. She holds a bird in her right hand. It has
been supposed that the foot is a votive offering, to commemorate
a remarkable cure. Wolters, however, explains the object as a
shoemaker's last ([Greek: kalapous], cf. _Monumenti dell' Inst._, xi.
pl. 29), and interprets it as an allusion to the trade of Xanthippos.
This theory hardly accounts for the gestures of the attendant figures.
Above the relief is a pediment, inscribed [Greek: Xanthippos]. (Pl.
xi., fig. 2.)
