99. ARCHAIC ANTEFIX: SATYR'S HEAD (pi. 120).
H. -34 m., Br. -24 m. Broken : r. ear and part of head by it; r. shoulder, with
most of fillet.
On the forehead two parallel furrows are traced in brown; the eye-
brows are raised and are also coloured brown; the eyes, which are some-
what oblique, with lids in relief outlined in black, have the ball and pupil
painted black, the iris red. On the cheeks are a few traces of red ; the
lips are also red and so is the moustache. The black beard is in hori-
zontal waves. The hair is divided on the forehead into a series of small
black curls in relief which are twisted outwards from the centre of the
forehead. The head above the curls is crowned with a wreath of ivy
whose leaves all point vertically upwards, and a cluster of red berries
hangs below the ear. From the wreath black fillets descend on to the
shoulders, framing the face at the sides. The pointed ear is coloured red
within. The natural colour of the clay is dull red; this was covered by
a cream slip upon which the other colours were painted, the slip being
left for flesh tints. The mask was formed in a mould and perhaps
worked over with a tool.
From a temple of the sixth or beginning of the fifth century; Ionic
style.
Found near S. Antonio, Esquiline.

101. RELIEF, NYMPH AND PAN (pi. 120).
H. -34 m., Br. .23 m. Broken : Nymph above waist; head of Pan, r. hand,
and phallus.
The Nymph wears a yyAr with tc< the knees, girt high
with a broad girdle, a mantle which has slipped down on her r. side, and
soft shoes. The weight of the body rests on the r. leg, while the bent 1.
is advanced. To her 1. are traces of a herm. Her r. hand rested on
Pan's head. The latter reaches up his 1. arm to touch her; his bent r.
perhaps held a A is fastened round his neck and hangs
down behind. His bodily forms bloated ; breasts highly developed; ithy-
phallic.
Very poor work.
This subject is a variant of a numerous series where Pan is grouped
with Aphrodite or other divinities (A?. C. A?!, ipo6, pp. 610 ff., pis.
13-16). In each case Pan is notably smaller than the other figure and
his animal characteristics are always in marked contrast to it. It is
