tresses, which fall to the shoulders in luxuriant curls. As
the back is unfinished, this head probably belonged to a
statue in a niche. Eestorations : neck, shoulders, portion
of upper part of cap.

(188.) Paniskos, or Youthful Pan.—The pointed ears
and small horns of this figure show that it represents the
human type of Pan, which forms a strong contrast to the
goat-legged type of the same deity, of which an example
is alread}7 described. It is convenient to distinguish these
types as Pan and iEgipan (Nos. 174—175). The human
type is the more rare in ancient art. It occurs on the
coins of Arcadia, on several vases in the British Museum
(see Vase Catalogue, Nos. 961*, 1,293, 1,434, 1,477, 1,549,
1,681), and on two small bronzes (see Guide to Bronze
Boom, p. 43, No. 33, and p. 52). In the earlier represen-
tations, as on the coins of Arcadia, Pan is represented with
the form of a youthful athlete. In later art, his form
becomes more effeminate, like that of Dionysos. (See
'Gerhard, Ueber Faunus, in Archiiol. Nachlass aus Bom,
Berlin, 1852, p. 87.) The name of the artist by whom
this statue was made, Marcus Cossutius Cerdo, is inscribed
on the support of this statue in Greek letters. In the
Lateran is a head of Ban said to be of the same character.

p. 178, No. 277). Eestorations: arms, legs from knees
.downwards, base, and lower part of support.
