statue, which is inferior copyist's work, is too poor for any discussion of
style to be possible.

5. HERM OF YOUTH (pi. 47).
H. .54 m. Marble, Restored: nose.
Though tending to an ideal type, the head seems to possess one or
two traits of portraiture, in the swelling above the eyebrows, and the form
of the ears. On the whole, however, the great breadth of cheek, line of
skull, treatment of mouth, chin, and hair, and general expression, recall
the Polycleitan Doryphoros ; only the whiskers point to a period after
Alexander. The eyes and large eyelids are treated in the manner of the
fifth century B.c. It may be the head of an athlete idealized as the
Doryphoros, or an actual copy of the Doryphoros head with the later
fashion of whiskers added. Moderate copyist's work.
Provenance unknown.
6. STATUETTE OF GODDESS WITH YrA/WAWA (pi. 46).
H. 1-40 m. Pentelic marble. Restored: tip of nose, r. cheek under eye, both
forearms with attributes, r. foot, 1. thigh aud portion of drapery above, lower part of
drapery in front and behind on r., edges of drapery, 1. foot slightly, 1. part of plinth.
The goddess stands with her 1. knee bent, her weight on the r. leg.
She wears a on her softly waving hair, a sleeved rAz'Aw and a
double which is looped up over her r. shoulder and rolled up in
a fold which passes obliquely across her r. breast. The work has an
archaistic touch and may belong to the first century B.c. The personality
is somewhat uncertain, but and expression would be suitable to
Hera.
Provenance unknown.
7. YOUTHFUL MALE HERM, SO-CALLED SCOPAIC HERA-
CLES (pi. 47).
H. (total) -45 m., Br. of herm (at base) -i2g m., L. of herm (at base)
-295 m. Pentelic marble. Restored (in plaster): nose. Back r. portion of head
(made separately) is now lost, surface of contact being finished with claw-chisel.
Remainder of head and herm carved from one unbroken block. -07 m. vertically
above outer corner of r. eyebrow is a drill-hole (diam. -005 m.) filled with iron. In
an almost corresponding position on 1. are traces of a similar drill-hole. They were
perhaps for the attachment of a fillet across the brows, or, as seems more likely from
comparative fineness of the work above forehead and roughness between these holes
and the ears, for some attribute hanging on cheek or temple. There is no tooled
surface round them, and they can therefore hardly have been for the attachment of
horns. Graf (Ac. rzY.) mentioned only the hole above r. eyebrow and believed it to be
a deliberate injury. On 1. side of neck below 1. ear are two rough projections of
marble, perhaps where the lowest vine-leaf was broken away.
Head deep and massive, with broad cheeks and heavy jaw. Eyes
deeply inset with brow overlapping lid at outer corner: at inner corner a
