1. Orestes taking refuge at the omphalos at Delphi; he is
kneeling on his left knee on the base of the omphalos, to
which his left arm clings; in his right hand he holds his
drawn sword, turning to the left as if to ward off the pur-
suing Erinnyes; in his left hand he holds the scabbard of
his sword ; he is beardless and naked, all but a bordered
chlamys flung over his left arm, and a white pileus, which
hangs at the back of his neck ; the omphalos is covered with
a net, agrenon; on the base IEPAAVK in Etruscan cha-
racters from right to left, which are of doubtful antiquity ;
on the right stands Apollo, holding in his right hand a
laurel twig over the head of Orestes; in his left hand he
holds a phiale, probably the haimnion, containing the blood
of a victim, in his left arm a laurel branch; he is beard-
less ; his long hair is gathered up behind in a knot, on his
left arm hangs a bordered chlamys; in front of Orestes,
and on the extreme left, an Ionic column, in front of which
a bucranivm, from which hangs a sacrificial vitta: 2. rev.
two youthful male figures standing conversing; between
them a column ; they are beardless, and wear bordered
mantles which leave the right arm and shoulder free ; in their
right hands are staffs. H.
