Portrait head of a bearded man. This head appears to be derived from
a sepulchral monument in very high relief, and to have been turned to
the left, as the left side is carefully finished, while the right side
is rough and inaccurate.--_Athens?_ _Elgin Coll._

Fragment of a relief, perhaps sepulchral, containing the lower part
of the body and the right leg of a warrior, who stands on rocky ground
drawing himself rather to the left. He wears a short chiton, a cuirass
with a triple row of flaps (_pteryges_), and a mantle. Behind are the
legs from the knees of a recumbent figure. The warrior appears to have
had a shield on the left arm, and the right arm raised for a spear
thrust at a fallen enemy.--_Found at the foot of the Inscribed
Monument, Xanthos._
