probably on each face of the altar there were a pair or
more of Bacchic figures in contrasted attitudes.
The action of both figures is well composed, and the
work, though careless, seems of a good period.
Present height, 10 inches ; present width of sides, about 6 inches.

(F. 11.) Column or shaft, perhaps from a candelabrum or
from the support of a vase ; round it in relief are four
female figures, of whom one is playing on the lyre whilst
the others move as in a dance. The figure playing on the.
lyre who moves to the right wears a talaric chiton with a
diploidion girt, at the waist; behind her comes a female
figure wrapped in a mantle, her left hand extended in front,
holding an end of the drapery of the preceding figure ;
her right hand is muffled in her drapery. Next follows a
female figure wearing a talaric chiton girt round the waist
with a scarf; her left hand, advanced to the right, holds an
end of the drapery of the figure preceding her, while her
right hand holds the left hand of the figure following her.
This figure, the last in the scene, wears a talaric chiton,
with a mantle wrapped around her shoulders; her left
hand is advanced to the right, holding the hand of the
figure preceding her ; her right forearm is wanting. All
four figures are headless.
Height, 9 inches ; diameter, 5 inches. Mus. Marbles, IX., pi. 40,
fig. 1.
(F. 12.) Table case L. Left side of votive tablet, on
which is sculptured a female figure holding a phiale in her
right hand : her head and left arm from above the elbow
are broken away. Some vertical object, perhaps a censer,
thymiaterion, similar to that held by Fig. 56 in the Eastern
frieze of the Parthenon, is sculptured on the right, and has
probably been held upright in her left hand. She is turned
