pour a libation. A woman seated on a stool by the
foot of the couch, extends her hands. On the right is
a man, draped and bearded, and on the left a nude
youth who stands with a jug by a large crater. Below
the couch is a dog gnawing a bone. The original, of
white marble, was found at the Piraeus in 1838, and is
now in the National Museum at Athens.
Height, 1 foot 7 J inches; width, 2 feet 1 inch. 'Etp-q^pls, 1839,
No. 269 ; Le Bas, Mon. Fig., pi. 52; Pervanoglu, Familienmahl,
p. 24, No. GO ; Mitchell, p. 504 ; Wolters, No. 1052 ; Roscher,
Lexicon, p. 2574.
712. Relief with banquet. Two male figures recline to-
gether on a couch. One is a bearded man, the other is a
youth. The man holds a bowl in his left hand and places
his right hand on the shoulder of the youth who turns
his head towards him. Before the couch is a table with
provisions. On the right is a nude youth with a jug and
bowl. On the left is a youth, wearing tunic and chlamys,
who leads a horse. The relief is bounded by pilasters
and an architrave.
On the lower margin is the modern inscription Aescu-
lapio Tarentino Salenius Areas, added by some person who
supposed that the relief was a votive tablet to Aesculapius.
The inscription, however, makes it probable that the relief
was obtained at Tarentum. The type of the horse also
agrees well with that on the coins of Tarentum, of about
the close of the fourth century, b.c. The relief is perhaps
erected to a father and two sons. It is also possible that
the two figures of the youth represent the same person,
and that only two persons in all are here commemorated.—
Presented by W. P. Hamilton, Esq., 1845.
Marble, probably Pentelic ; height, 1 foot 10J inches ; width, 2 feet
9 inches. The upper right-hand corner is restored. P. Gardner,
Journ. of Hellen. Studies, V., p. 105, and plate ; Wolters,
No. 1054; Koscher, Lexicon, p. 2575.
