214 DESCRIPTION OP THE SCULPTURES

narrative of the discoveries, or in discussing the
theory of the restoration.

These remains consist of two classes,—sculptures
in the round, and works in high relief.

Of the sculptures in the round, the most impor-
tant are the fragments of the chariot group, con-
sisting of the statue commonly called Mausolus;
the female statue found with it, which I suppose to
have been a Goddess, represented as his charioteer,
and the two portions of horses.

It has been already remarked, ante, p. 104, that
the head of Mausolus is evidently a portrait, though
treated in an ideal manner. The cast of features is
very singular, and resembles, so far as I know, no
other type to be met with in Hellenic art. The
hair, springing upwards from the forehead, falls
in thick waves on each side of the face ;a the beard
is short and close; the face square and massive,
with proportions somewhat shorter and broader
than those usually observable in Greek art; the
eyes, deeply set under overhanging brows, have a
full and majestic gaze ; the mouth is well formed,
with a set calm about the lips, indicating decision
of character, and the habit of command : both the
form and features are those of a man in the prime
of life.1'

a This peculiar upward springing of the hair over the forehead
is characteristic of the Hon, and has been copied by the Greek
sculptors in the type of Zeus, and some of his real or pretended
descendants, such as Alexander the Great. See the article Coma,
in Smith's Dictionary of Antiquities.

b " The connection of the head with the body has been determined
by a corresponding fragment, uniting the chin with the neck;
