Nemesis.
No. 113. A female statue without head or arms,
part of the left breast gone: it is entirely clothed in
drapery*. It was found in 1812, near the doorway,
in the smaller temple at Rhamnus; and was pre-
sented, with the three succeeding articles, to the
British Museum, in 1820, by John P. Gandy
Deering, Esq.
No. 325. Part of a colossal head, found in the
larger temple at Rhamnus, and supposed to be the
head of the memorable statue, which has already,
upon Pausanias's authority, been ascribed to Phidias f-
' The holes are observable upon the crown of the head,
by means of which the ornaments of bronze which
adorned it were affixed. Other fragments of the
statue of Nemesis besides the head were found within
the area of the temple. The goddess was originally
represented crowned with a diadem on which stags
were sculptured, and a small figure of Victory J.

sented to the Museum in 1785, with several other
marbles, by the Dilettanti Society.
