tached tresses fall on the bosom on each side of the neck;
in the right ear an earring in the form of a circular
flower. The figure, which is cut off' at the waist, probably
by a modern hand, is clad in a chiton with sleeves over
which is a diplo'idion fastened on the right shoulder, and
slipped off the left shoulder, the edge passing obliquely
across the bosom from left to right; the right arm is cut
off at the elbow. Present height, 5^ in. This type may
be compared with a statue in the museum at Lyons, De
Witte and Lenormant, Gazette Archeologique, 1876, pi. 31.
(165) Bust of Persephone, holding in her right hand
the flower, in her left the fruit of the pomegranate. A
broad band, ampyx, passes across the upper part of the
forehead; at either end of this band the hair is twisted
back in wavy masses. The bust, which is cut off at the
waist, is clad in a chiton with sleeves, over which is a
diplo'idion ; the folds of this garment or of a mantle sym-
metrically arranged fall in front of either shoulder ; a seam
is shown in the sleeve of the upper right arm. In the right
ear an earring like a stud. The back of the bust not
modelled. Later Archaic. Perhaps from Locri in Southern
Italy. Height, 8^ in. Mon. d. Inst. Arch. Eom. v. pi. 9,
(166) Persephone, holding in her right hand the pome-
granate fruit pressed against her bosom; with her left she
draws on one side the skirt of her drapery. Her hair,
arranged in two rows of formal tresses over her forehead,
falls in a mass of tresses behind, reaching nearly to the
waist, and cut off square; in front a single tress falls on
each shoulder; her head is crowned with a stephane, be-
hind which a veil falls on her shoulders. She wears a
talaric chiton with sleeves, over which is a diplo'idion with
pteryges fastened on the right shoulder, and passing
obliquely across the bosom so as to leave the left shoulder
and breast free; the left foot slightly advanced. The
back of this figure is modelled as carefully as the front.
Height, 1 ft. 3 in. Sicily. G. D.
(167) Persephone; similar type; the head wanting.
The pteryges of the diplo'idion reach nearly to the feet; on
the left side traces of red colour. Later Archaic. Present
height, -±i in. Turkish Archipelago. G. T. N.
