PLATE XL.

A circular votive patera, engraved on both sides. A front view of
the head of Pan, encircled by a wreath of oak leaves and acorns,
forms the subject of one side. He is crowned with ivy, and his beard
is in long spiral curls. This head is in very high relief, and executed
with great spirit. A head of Pan, but in profile, is likewise repre-
sented on the other side ; it is crowned with ivy, and is placed
upon a pile of stones in front of a lighted altar. Between the
head and the altar is a branch of ivy.
Diameter, 10^ inches.
