7. BUST OF AN AFRICAN YOUTFI (pi. 27).
H. .472 m. Pentelic marble. Restored: shoulders of bust. The head has
been broken from the bust but belongs.
On a nude bust of Flavian shape, the head of a young man turned
slightly to 1. His hair, which is smooth and abundant, is brushed forward
and falls very low on the forehead. The eyes are small and narrow; the
nose straight and thick. The lips are prominent and the cheek-bones high.
The r. side of the face is less carefully modelled than the 1., and there
are small differences in the arrangement of the hair in front of the ears.
Work of the early Trajanic period. The head seems to be a careful
study of an African type (cf. no. 11).
Probably found together with (A;//. 11; cf. AAV/. iii (1875),
p. 245, nos. 13-20.

marble. Unrestored. Top surface of column claw-chiselled, with channel and hole
for clamp at back and groove connecting them with front r. corner. Bottom surface
tooled roughly.
On front and back (as now placed) between plain mouldings is a
narrow rectangular panel containing a wreath untied ; on r. and 1. sides
a similar narrow panel containing a vertical palmated band barred with
five cross-bands bearing palmettes. On each of these front sides beneath
the panels are rectangular sunk surfaces containing reliefs as follows:
AV<37z/ .* on 1. is a tailless baboon to r. with 1. paw in advance; r. leg
bent at knee, and hock drawn back. His r. arm is lowered (the hand
holding an object now indistinguishable) and extended to r. ; his 1. inter-
twined with the r. arm of a similar animal facing him, who has his r. leg
advanced and 1. drawn back, his 1. arm bent at the elbow and held out
to 1. The two are stooping towards each other and appear to be engaged
in some sort of dance. On r. is a wall of rock from which projects, on
a level with the dancers' shoulders, the head of a similar creature, who
holds out his r. arm to 1.
Z$7? -s7A<?.- on rocky projection two masks (tragic and satyric) facing
each other. In upper part of background, between them, a with crook.

AAzzA.- winged sea-griffin to r. (bridle in mouth?) with thorn-shaped
spines along the back, and a spiny tail with two twists. Sea beneath
represented by rough wavy lines.
Similar scenes are not uncommon on (Wz7Az; and the style and
range of subject are best paralieled by a double relief in the Cook
collection (_/. A/. A. (1908), p. 23, no. 32, pi. XVI). The scenes may be
