Dresden Museum in 1892 (P. Herrmann in the Jahrb. d. kais. deutsch. arch. Inst. 1894

Rip. Reliefs ii. 60 no. 4),—a possible forerunner of the archaising series. The prototype
is, however, to be sought in an archaic original such as the fragmentary altar of the
Barracco Museum {Catalogue Barracco no. 82, Reinach Rip. Reliefs iii. 160 nos. 2 and 3).
