PLATE XLI.

A Greek funereal bas-relief. It represents a trophy, on one side of
which a warrior is standing, and on the other a female figure
feeding a serpent, twined round the trunk of a tree on which the
trophy is erected; on the right of these figures is the fore part of
a horse, with an attendant. A pilaster is on each side of this bas-
relief, in the usual style of sepulchral monuments. The following
inscription, consisting of a list of names, probably of persons who
fell in some engagement, is placed partly above and partly under-
neath the monument.
