Votive relief. Two youthful male figures, perhaps the Dioscuri, stand
to the front, having an altar between them. One is nude, and the
other only has drapery on the left arm. They have spears in their left
hands. One appears to be holding an oinochoè in his right hand, and
the other a phialè. They stand between two Ionic columns, surmounted
by an entablature, with antefixal tiles, and festoons of rosettes
above.
Marble; height, 1 foot 6-1/2 inches; width, 1 foot 2-3/4 inches.

Votive relief. Kybelè seated within a distyle temple. On her head is
a calathos; a long tress of hair falls on each shoulder; she wears a
long chiton with sleeves and girt at the waist, and a mantle. In her
right hand she holds a bowl; at her right side is a lion; her left
hand is advanced as if it had held a sceptre, probably of metal, which
is now wanting. On each side of the base of the calathos is a hole,
probably for the attachment of a metal wreath.--_Elgin Coll._
