104 HISTORY OE THE DISCOVERT
statue is remarkable for the rich composition of
the drapery. The head has been veiled.
4. A number of fragments of a draped male
figure which has been put together since its arrival
in England. This statue is now made up of sixty-
three separate fragments, and is nearly complete,
wanting only the arms and one foot. The head,
which was found a few feet to the east of the body,
seems, from the general type of the features, to be
an example of the ideal portrait, in which the artist
sought to give a divine or heroic character, while
preserving the traits of individual likeness.5 It was
on this account that, on first discovering this
head, I considered it as the portrait of Mausolus,
an opinion which has since been very generally
adopted.
5. A colossal female head, with a double row of
stiff formal curls round the forehead.k This was
found about two feet to the north of the marble
wall, and a little to the west of the house on the
extreme left in Plate XI.
6. A male beardless head, of great beauty, with
flowing hair, probably representing Apollo. When
found, this head was split in three pieces, which have
since been reunited.
7. The head and shoulders of a lion, well pre-
served.
8. Part of a bearded head, found with the head
of Mausolus, a few feet to the east of the horse.
