huntress dress, with short chiton, and has a hound standing beside
her. On the right is an altar at which a male worshipper appears to be
making an offering. On the extreme right is the hand and drapery of a
female figure making a gesture of adoration.--_Ephesus._ _J. T. Wood._

Votive relief (?). Two youths on horseback, probably the Dioscuri,
though the conical cap, _pileus_, by which they are distinguished is
wanting. Each wears a chiton and chlamys. They are beardless; their
hair is short and bound with a diadem; the bridles have been painted
in red, which is still faintly visible on the marble. The horses are
small and compact, like those on the frieze of Parthenon, and have
hogged manes.--_Purchased from Sir W. Hamilton, 1772._
Marble; height, 1 foot 5-1/2 inches; length, 1 foot 9-1/4 inches.
