268 POMPEIANA.
Page 24.
A female Centaur, bearing a green pallium, and
holding a festoon, carries a Bacchante, robed in yellow,..
with the thyrsis. The equine portion of the former is
white, and the head has horses' ears. Zeuxis was the
first who imagined the female Centaur: the necessity of
such beings having escaped the recollection of the poetic
inventors of the male; always by them represented as of
hideous countenance.
Page 70.
This no less beautiful figure holds the tambarincj
which her right hand appears to have just struck. Her
double neck-lace and bracelets are of pearls: her white
vest is bordered with red, of which colour, also, are the
ties of her sandals.
Page 91.
A Centaur, in full speed, with his hands bound
behind, has the human portion a dark flesh colour, and
the other of iron gray. He bears a Bacchante.
Page 123.
The fair hair of this figure is interwoven with leaves
of an aquatic plant. Clad in a white robe, with a veil of
green, in her right hand is a basket, while her left sus-
tains a patera. She wears slippers.
