pi. 1, fig. 2 ; Murray, I., pi. 6 ; Wolters, 135 ; Wolters in Jahr-

88. Slab from the left end of a frieze. A woman wearing a
long chiton with sleeves and a himation stands to right
with right hand raised, and holding a flower (?). She holds
a piece of drapery in left hand. Before her, the remains

Limestone ; height, 2 feet 9 inches ; length, 3 feet 6 inches. Prachov,

, 90. Gable end of a tomb. On each side of a doorway is a
seated Sphinx, and above the lintel are two lions.—Xanthos.
89. The Sphinx on the left wears a cap enclosing most of
the hair, a pendant earring, and a narrow taenia. There
are traces of red paint on the cap, and of the markings of
feathers on the wings. The head and fore-quarters of the
lion are wanting.
Limestone; height, 3 feet 9 inches; width, 3 feet 1 inch. About
3 inches appear to be wanting on the right of the slab. Prachov,
pi. 5, fig. 1 (the head only of the Sphinx) ; Dieulafoy, VArt Ant.
de la Perse, II., pi. 18, fig. 2 ; Brunn, Dcnkmaeler, No. 101a.
90. The Sphinx on the right of the doorway has her hair
confined by a broad band, and has a pendant earring.
The markings of the feathers may be seen on the wings.
When first discovered in 1840, this relief was brilliantly
coloured, as is recorded in a drawing by Scharf. The
ground of the relief was bright blue ; the feathers were
red, black, blue, and white. The hair was yellow, and
the taenia was painted with a white pattern on a red
