(1) A mirror from Clusium, now in the Casuccini collection (no. 176), Villa Marcianella, Chiusi. The head of Orpheus (3<*>(]V) looks up from the ground with parted lips, while a young man on the right takes down the oracle (B. Bandinelli in the Mon. d. Line. 1925 xxx.

(2) A mirror, now in Paris (De Ridder Cat. Bronzes du Louvre ii. 50 no. 1724), of similar design, but without names (E. Gerhard in the Abh. d. berl. Akad. rS6l'Phil.-hist. Classe p. 407 f. pi. 2, id. Etr. Spiegel 111. 275 f., 325 ff. pi. 257 a, B. Bandinelli loc. cit. p. 547 f.).
h) A fragmentary mirror formerly in the Borgia collection and now presumably at Naples, which had once a similar design (E. Gerhard Etr. Spiegel iii. 190 pl.Ji96, B. Bandinelli loc. cit. p. 548).
