19. BUST OF ARIADNE (?) (pi. 91).
H. -gi m. Parian marbie. Restored: nose, patch on chin, back of head and
neck, bust. The inscription ARIADNA is modern.
On a modern draped bust the head of Ariadne (?) turned slightly to r.
The hair is confined by a broad fillet on the forehead and by an ivy-
wreath, of which the greater part is modern. Ringlets and the ribbons
of the fillet fall behind the ears. The lips are parted.
Poor work after an original of the fourth century B. c.

Tofanelli (1818), p. 137 (Stanza del Trono), 'Ariadne'.
