THE TREASURY OF THE SIPHNIANS 105
served reliefs with lively forms and movements ; to the
left are seen remains of two dancing Sileni, then comes a
long-bearded Silenus with a nymph in his arms, and at the
extreme right a Maenad is running away. The Silenus
type was created in Ionic Asia Minor, and the wanton
Fig. 32.—Back of head and polos of Caryatid from the Treasury of the Siphnians
(Fouilles de Delphes, iv, plate xx).
representations remind one of the Ionic vase-painting 1 ; in
such places the Greek artist gives vent to his humour;
thus Pheidias under the arm of the throne of Zeus at Olympia
represented a Satyr pursuing a nymph.
The polos is finished off upwards by a kind of echinus,
1 Cp., for example, the Phineus-cyiix at Wurzburg: Furtwangler-Reichhold,
Griech. Vasenmalerei, i, plate 41 and p. 209.
