grity in a judge, who never ought to take his eyes off the juftice
of the laws, and contemplation of naked truth.
JULY, is reprefented, in painting, &c. in a garment of a light
yellow colour, eating cherries, with his face and bofom fun-burnt;
on his head a garland of centaury and thyme ; on his moulder a
fcythe ; with a bottle at his girdle ; and carrying a lion.
JUNE, is reprefented in a mantle of dark grafs green ; upon
his head a coronet of bents, king-cups, and maiden-hair; hold-
ing in his left hand an angle, in his right Cancer, and upon his
arm a bafket of fummer fruits.
JUNO, was reprefented, in painting, &c. by the ancients, by
a woman of a middle age, holding a filver vefTel in one hand, and
a fharp fpear in the other.
Homer reprefents her drawn in a chariot glittering with pre-
cious ftones, the wheels of which were ebony, and the nails fine
filver, mounted upon a feat of filver, and drawn with horfes,
which were fattened with chains of gold.
She is frequently painted with a fcepter in her hand, to fhew
that fhe hath the bellowing of governments, authorities, and
kingdoms.
Martianus reprefents her fitting in a chair under Jupiter, with
a thin veil over her head, crowned with a coronet inchafed and
adorned with many precious jewels ; her inward veftment fine
and glittering, over which hung down a mantle of a darkifh co-
lour, yet with a fecret mining beauty ; her fhoes of an obfcure
and fable colour; in her right hand holding a thunder-bolt, and
in her other a loud noify cymbal.
Paufanias tells us, that, in a temple in Corinth, her ftatue,
made of gold and ivory, was adorned with a glorious crown, on
which were engraven the pictures of the graces ; fhe holding in
one hand a pomegranate, and in the other a fcepter, on the top
of which was a cuckow ; becaufe Jupiter, when he became firft
enamoured with Juno, transformed himfelf into that bird.
Some have reprefented her like a woman of a middle age,
holding in one hand a poppy-flower or head; and a yoke, or
pair of fetters, lying at her feet.
By the yoke is fignified the band of matrimony, and by the
poppy fruitfulnefs j and hence (he is fuppofed to be the goddefs
of marriage.
She is alfo depicted with black hair and eyes, adorned with a
fky-coloured mantle, wrought with gold and peacocks eyes, like
the orient circles in the peacock's train.
IVORY, is the tufk of an elephant, which grows on each fide
of his trunk, in form of an horn.
Ivory is much efteemed for its colour, its polith, and the fine-
nefs of its grain when wrought.
