CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.

161. Greek advancing with epear. Brunn proposes the
name of Ajax, son of Oileus.

Restored :—Crest, right hand, left forearm and part of feet. Cockerell,
pi. 15, No. 9 ; pi. 16 ; Blouet, III., pi. 69, fig. 1.

162. Greek archer, armed, kneeling and drawing his bow.
This may well he the Aeginetan hero, Teucer, brother of
Telamonian Ajax.

Restored :—Head, arms, several flaps of the cuirass, and left leg from
the knee. Cockerell, pi. 15, No. 10; pi. 16 ; Blouet, III., pi. 66,
fig. 1.

163. Bearded Greek warrior advancing, with shield extended
and light hand raised to hurl spear. Perhaps Telamo-
nian Ajax.

Restored :—Nose, crest, half right forearm, part of shield, both legs.
Cockerell, pi. 15, No. 3 ; pi. 16 ; Blouet, III., pi. 68, fig. 1.

164. Wounded hero, leaning on his right hand, which held
a sword; the shield is held out to cover the body. This
is either Achilles or Patroclos according to the chief
schemes of interpretation.

Restored:—Neck, right shoulder, fingers and toes. Cockerell, pi. 15,
No. 2 ; pi. 16; Blouet, III., pi. 67, fig. 2.

165. Figure of Athene presiding over the battle. She stands
erect in the centre of the pediment, fully armed and
wearing her aegis. There is an archaic formality in her
pose and in the composition of the drapery, which shows
that the artist has adopted a traditional type of temple-
image. The earrings, locks of hair, a Gorgoneion, and
snakes bordering the aegis were made of metal, and
attached.

Restored:—Nose, right hand, part of left hand. Cockerell, pi. 15,
No. 1 ; pi. 16 ; Blouet, HI., pi. 67, fig. 1 ; Brunn, Denkmaeler
No. 23.
