of Morosini, the Venetian General who took Athens in
1687. This head has been much restored about the nose
and mouth, but the style agrees with that of the pedi-
mental sculptures, and its provenance, as proved by the
late Count Leon de Laborde, makes it highly probable
that it was brought from Athens by Felice San Gallo
after the siege by Morosini. It has been thought that
this head belonged to the Victory (G-) who is driving the
chariot of Athene, but it may with equal probability be
assigned to several other figures in this pediment. (La-
borde, Athenes, ii., pp. 228, 230, pll. 14, 15; Michaelis,
pi. 8, fig. 6.)
2. Female head in Athens, very much defaced. (Mi-
chaelis, pi. 8, No. 9 ; Laborde, pi. 24, fig. 6.)
3. Fragment of wing, in Athens, with joint by which it
has been inserted into a figure, probably of Victory.
(Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 11 ; Laborde, pi. 25, fig. 12.)
4. Smaller fragment of similar wing. (Michaelis, pi. 8,
fig. 10; Laborde, pi. 25, fig. 17.)
5. Part of draped figure, in Athens, assigned con-
jecturally to figure TJ in the West pediment by Michaelis,
pi. 8, fig. 5; Laborde, pi. 25, fig. 22.
6. Left leg of colossal male figure, made up from two
pieces, a fragment reaching from half-way up the thigh
to below the knee, and the fragment of a leg (Michaelis,
pi. 8, fig. 36), reaching to the bottom of the calf.
7. Fragment of the right leg and thigh of a colossal
male figure, made up of two pieces, the leg from below the
knee to nearly the ankle (Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 38), and
the knee with the beginning of the thigh. This and the
preceding fragment are on the same scale.
8. Eight leg of male figure from the bottom of the calf
nearly to the heel; the foot is broken off. This fragment
is on a scale rather larger than the so-called Theseus (D)
of the Eastern pediment, and may be the lower part of the
of Morosini, the Venetian General who took Athens in
1687. This head has been much restored about the nose
and mouth, but the style agrees with that of the pedi-
