placed near trees at the r., a priestess is pouring

bread on a platter from the r., and another girl
prepares to wreathe the statue with a garland.
Behind the priestess sits a woman motioning a
child to silence, and a little beyond, 1., two
seated women sing, while a third, standing by
them, plays a lyre; further off, a dance of
youths and maidens.
