sheathed sword, greaves, and a large shield, which he
supports with the left hand. Beneath the chair is a
small bear.
At each side of this group, but disconnected from it,
are figures commonly known as Harpies. They are repre-
sented as beings with the head, breasts and arms of
maidens, while the lower part of the body is that of a
bird conventionally rendered. It terminates in oval form
with a spreading tail and bird's talons attached. Long
wings spring from behind the shoulders and under the
arms. Each creature wears a stephane and chiton (see
below). In their arms and talons each gently carries a
diminutive draped female figure, that makes a gesture, as
of affection.
At the right corner of the relief a draped figure crouches
on the ground in an attitude of deop grief, and looks up
to the flying figure above.
3. East Side.—A venerable bearded man is seated on a
throne, to the right. He has a sceptre in the left hand,
and holds up a flower in the right hand. The arm of
the throne is supported by a Triton. Before him is a
diminutive figure of a boy offering a cock.
Behind the enthroned figure are two draped male
figures, standing to right. The first holds a pomegranate
fruit in the left hand, and a doubtful object in the right
hand. The second, who is bearded, holds a portion of his
drapery with the left hand; with his right hand he holds
his beard.
On the right of the relief is a youth, accompanied by
a dug. He holds a stick with curved handle in his left
hand, and has an uncertain object in his right hand.
Part of it was made of metal, attached by a rivet. It
may perhaps have been a kylix with a tall stem.
4. South Side.—A male figure, not bearded, is seated on a
throne to right. He has a sceptre resting on hi s right shoulder.
