CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.
CASTS OF LYCIAN SEPULCHRAL RELIEFS.
The following casts are derived from Lycian rock-cut
tombs, discovered by Sir C. Fellows. Tombs of the
normal type have a facade with architecture imitating
wooden construction. Behind the facade is a vestibule,
or portico, often adorned with reliefs on each side. At
the- back is the door of the actual sepulchral chamber.
Nos. 760-764 are derived from tombs of this type.
760. Cast of relief from the east or left side of the portico
of a rock-cut tomb. Bellerophon mounted on Pegasos
appears to be thrusting as with a spear at the Chimaera
which is roughly indicated in the right-hand lower corner
of the relief. Pegasos has the mane tied in a topknot
between the ears, as in the relief from Xanthos, No. 86.
The cast is painted in imitation of the original.—Tlos.
Height, 3 feet 6J inches; width, 3 feet 7f inches. Fellows, Lycia,
p. 136 and plate. For general view of the tomb, see Benndorf,
Eeisen in Lykien, I., p. 139, and pi. 42 (on the right).
761-4. Casts of reliefs from the sides of the portico of a rock-
cut tomb at Pinara. The outside of the tomb has an
elaborate facade with sculptured pediment, frieze, and
other ornaments. (For general view, see Fellows, Lycia,
pi. facing p. 141, and Benndorf, Reisen in Lykien, I.,
pi. 19.) Within the portico, on each side, projecting beam
ends divide the sculpture into two panels. Each of the
four reliefs represents a view of a Lycian city, but there
is no proof that they are four different views of the city of
Pinara, as Fellows thought (Lycia, p. 141).
761. Cast of the upper relief on the left or west side of
the poitico. Yiew of part of a city on a hill, with
castellated walls. Within are towers, with windows
