[Sidenote: 2.]
_East Side._--Frieze in low relief, with its right end broken
away. A horseman wearing helmet and cloak rides to the right. He
is followed by an attendant, wearing a short chiton, and carrying
a spear on his right shoulder. Behind, a warrior moves to the
left, wearing a helmet with a large crest, a shield, and spear.
On the left, a shield, supposed to be fastened on a wall. This
relief, with its flat surface, devoid of detail, was probably
painted.
Height, 1 foot 6-1/2 inches; length, 3 feet 3 inches; height of
relief, 1/2 inch. Fellows, _Lycia_, pl. facing p. 176 (very
inaccurate); Perrot and Chipiez, V., p. 394, fig. 279.
[Sidenote: 3.]
_North Side._--Lioness, in high relief, recumbent to right,
playing with cubs. A cub is seen, with its forepaws across the
paws of the lioness, and with its hind quarters to the right; a
second cub lies on its back, over the first. The lower part of the
relief is broken away.
Height, 2 feet 4 inches; length, 3 feet 6 inches; height of
relief, 6 inches. Perrot and Chipiez, V., p. 391, fig. 276.
[Sidenote: 4.]
_West Side._--This side seems to have contained two separate
entrances to the tomb. On right and left were two groups in low
relief. (A.) On the right, a man, nude, with long hair, and armed
with sword, contending with a lion.
Height, 1 foot 10 inches; length, 1 foot 6 inches; height of
relief, 3/4 inch.
(B.) On the left a draped figure seated in a chair; left side
alone remains.
Height, 1 foot 7 inches; height of relief, 3/4 inch. Fellows,
_Lycia_, pl. facing p. 176; Prachov, pl. 1, fig. 1; Perrot and
Chipiez, V., p. 392, fig. 277; p. 393, fig. 278; Dieulafoy,
_L'Art Ant. de la Perse_, III., pl. 16.

Frieze of Satyrs and animals, found by Fellows, built into the walls
of the Acropolis at Xanthos.
Beginning from the left, the slabs of the frieze contain:
[Sidenote: 1, 2.]
Bearded Satyr in combat with a wild boar. The Satyr, who has
pointed ears and tail, makes a thrust at the boar with a branch
torn off a tree. The strange attitude of the Satyr is due to the
artist's difficulty in dealing with the shape of the slab. Slab 1
has been much injured by dripping water. The two slabs are proved
to be connected by the bough which is seen on both.
Prachov, pl. vi. A, a; vi. B, c; Wolters, Nos. 146, 145; Fellows,
_Lycia_, pl. facing p. 174; Brunn, _Denkmaeler_, No. 104.
[Sidenote: 3.]
Lioness, couching for a spring, but with right paw raised.
Prachov, pl. vi. A, e.
[Sidenote: 4.]
Lion devouring deer. This group is of an established conventional
form.
