713. Belief with banquet, serpent, and sacrifice. Two men
recline on a couch. Both have cups in their left hands
One holds up a rhyton terminating in a rain's head; the
other stretches out his right hand to a long table which
stands before the couch. A woman, seated on the end of
the couch, holds a cup in her left hand and stretches ont
her right hand to the table. Below the table is a coiled
serpent. On the left of the woman is a nude youth hold-
ing up a rhyton. Beyond is a square altar, to which a
boy, who is now almost obliterated, leads a pig. He holds
a bowl in his left hand. On the left are four adult
persons and two infants, and above, the head of a horse in
a frame. The relief is bounded by two pilasters sur-
mounted by an entablature, above which roof-tiles are
slightly indicated.—Townley Coll.
Pentelic marble; height, 1 foot 2 inches ; width, 2 feet 2 inches.
714. Fragment of relief with banquet and sacrifice. On the
right is part of the figure of a woman, who is seated at
the foot of a couch, most of which is now lost. Before
her is part of a table. At the foot of the couch is an
altar which is approached by a procession of three adult
persons and four children, one of whom leads a ram.
Above, a horse's head is seen at a window. The relief is
bounded by pilasters and an entablature, above which
roof-tiles are shown.—Athens ? Elgin Coll.
