Votive relief with three figures standing to the front. On the right
is Apollo wearing the dress of a minstrel, having a long chiton girt
at the waist, and a himation. He holds out a phialè in his right
hand. On the right is an omphalos, about which a snake is coiled. The
central figure, who is bearded, wears the dress of Dionysos with short
tunic, high boots, and a himation closely confined. He has a torch in
the left hand and holds out a phialè in the right hand. On the left
is a figure of Zeus, with a phialè held out in the right hand, and
a sceptre in the left hand. The relief is bounded by two pilasters
surmounted by an entablature and pediment.
Below is a group of six male figures reclining, who are sketched out
in low relief. Before them are four figures: (_a_) on the left a
comic figure seated, playing on double flutes, and beating time with a
_kroupezion_ or scabellum; (_b_) a nude female figure dancing; (_c_)
a comic figure running, wearing a Phrygian cap, and having a pair
of double flutes in each hand; (_d_) on the right, a figure with an
oinochoè in each hand drawing wine from a large vessel.
Inscribed: [Greek: Diï hypsistô k(ai) tô ch(o)rô Thallos epônymos ton
telamôna apedôka]. The relief ([Greek: telamôn]) appears to have been
dedicated by a successful dramatic poet, Thallos, who gave his name to
the fête.--_Cyzicus._ _Presented by A. van Branteghem, Esq._
