_Figures of Harpies (?)._
Certain fragments, which are not easily deciphered, appear
to belong to groups of winged draped beings, perhaps Harpies,
carrying off diminutive figures. The snakes in Nos. 36-38 suggest
the aegis of Athenè; but if No. 38 is correctly interpreted, some
Gorgon-like figure must be imagined.

Neck and chin of a figure to the left, having a large circular

half kneeling in the usual early scheme for the Gorgon, this
