[Sidenote: =666.=]

[Sidenote: =667.=]
Sepulchral relief. A woman stands to the front wearing a chiton, and
having a mantle wrapped closely about her. The relief is bounded by
pilasters and a high-pitched pediment, in the tympanum of which is
a vase in low relief. Inscribed [Greek: Epigona Moschiônos Milêsia],
Epigona, wife of Moschio, of Miletus.--_Athens._ _Presented by J.
Johnstone, Esq., 1890._
Pentelic marble? Height, 3 feet 9 inches; width, 1 foot 7 inches.
This relief, which was seen at Athens, "in the court of Giorgaki
Livaditi," by Spon in 1676 and by Fourmont in 1720, was dug up
many years ago below a house in New Bond Street. Spon, _Voyage_
(ed. 1679), II., p. 445; _C.I.G._, 706; _C.I.A._, III., 2660.

[Sidenote: =669.=]

Helmeted head in profile to the right; broken from a relief. Above the
helmet is what appears to be part of a horse's tail.--_Inwood Coll._
Pentelic marble; height, 7 inches.
[Sidenote: =671.=]
Head of a maiden, probably from a sepulchral relief. She wears a
closely-fitting cap, with a small flap hanging down before the ear.
There are remains of the tips of two fingers and a thumb resting on
the top of the head, which make it probable that the complete figure
was that of an attendant kneeling before her mistress, like the
attendant who fastens the sandal of Ameinocleia (No. 620).--_Athens?_
_Elgin Coll._
Pentelic marble; height, 8 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 250 (114);
