PLATE XIV.
A Greek who has been killed, and another who has been wounded,
are about to be borne off the field of battle by two of their com-
panions in arms. An Amazon standing between these groups is
taking possession of the shield which belonged to the warrior who
has been slain.
Length, 4 feet 9 inches.
PLATE XV.
Two Greeks are represented on this marble, each of them engaged
in single combat with an Amazon. One of the Greeks has obtained
a decided superiority over his enemy, having succeeded in throwing
her on her knees, while he is at the same time grasping her by the
hair of the head. The other Greek, though reduced to fight on
his knees, is still vigorously exerting himself against his antagonist.
Length, 4 feet 7 inches.
PLATE XVI.
A Greek and an Amazon are here engaged in single combat.
Another Greek who is supporting a wounded warrior on the ground,
has his attention fixed on the combatants and is earnestly awaiting
the issue of the contest: his right hand being employed in sustain-
ing the body of his friend, he has transferred his sword to the left
hand.
A groove has been cut at one end of this marble, which clearly
proves that it has fitted at right angles to an adjoining bas-relief,
