the right arm and shoulder bare. Athene wears a crested
helmet and a talaric chiton, over which is a diploidion ; on
her breast is the cegis: her left hand holds her shield
which rests on the ground on its edge. As the pilaster
on the left and the left side of the pediment are broken
away, it is probable that in the composition was origin-
ally a third figure balancing the figure of Athene, as in the
preceding relief (Mus. Marbles, Pt. IX., pi. 35, fig. 4)r
which represents a similar subject.

(F. 6.) Fragment of stele, on which is represented part
of a procession moving to the right, of which only four
entire figures remain. They have been preceded by a
male figure, of which only the body and right arm remain ;
his mantle is twisted round the body, leaving his right
arm and side exposed. Behind him follow two figures ;
the foremost of these wears a talaric chiton, over which
is a mantle drawn over the back of the head: her right
arm is enveloped in her mantle; behind her a figure,
apparently of the same sex, carries on her head a deep
circular basket, Jcane; she wears a talaric chiton with
very short sleeves; a mantle is wound round her body,
passing over the left shoulder. In the foreground at the-
side of these figures are two diminutive draped figures,
probably attendants. This relief has been thought to be
sepulchral, in which case the basket carried on the head
would represent the offerings about to be presented at the
tomb ; or, again, it may be part of a votive tablet, anathema,
dedicated by a priestess.
Height, 1 foot 3 inches ; present width, 10 inches. Mus. Marbles,
IX., pi. 36, fig. 3; Synopsis, 189 (284). Compare Visconti,
Mus. Worsl., pi. 5, fig. 1. E.
