fig. 120. This marble cone (height 14 ft.
6 ins., diameter 2 ft.) stands on a low
circular base (top and bottom restored)
and has a series of square projecting wra,
on four of which hang olive-garlands in
relief. Towards the upper end of the
cone is carved a band, which serves to
attach a lagobolon, a belt (?), and a club.
Near the base are five figures in the neo-
Attic style representing Apollon with his
lyre, a Satyr with nebr{s(l), pan-pipes,
and lagobolon, and three Maenads (T.
Panofka, followed by Miss Harrison,
takes these persons to be Apollon, Pan,
and three Horai; W. Helbig says ' a
Satyr and three Bacchantes dancing to
the music of a woman playing on a
cithara '; G. Zoega is content with ' una
danza bacchica,' S. Reinach with ' re-
liefs bachiques'). I09'
