CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.

difference being in the treatment of the roof. At the end
of the tomb are two doors. One door is filled with an im-
movable panel, with a figure of a draped bearded man hold-
ing an oinochoe, and inscribed 2aAa?, and in Lycian zzala.
The second door is believed to have been fitted with a panel,
having the wife of Salas in relief. (Fellows, Lycia,
p. 117.) The reliefs, of which casts are preserved in the
British Museum, formed a frieze immediately below the
cornice on each side of the tomb. Below this frieze on
each side was a combat of warriors on a larger scale.

Fellows, Lycia, p. 116; Petersen, Beisen in Lylden, II., p. 193.
Views and plans of the tomb are included in the Scharf port-
folio of drawings in the British Museum.

Cast of a portion of the relief on the south side of the
tomb at Cachjanda.

At the left end of the relief a girl draped in plain
long chiton with sleeves, and a cap with tassel, stands to
the right holding an aryballos and alabastron. On the
left of the principal relief is a group of four figures play-
ing with knuckle-bones. In front are a girl seated and a
girl kneeling, both closely draped and having long hair.
Behind are a youth standing, wrapped in a mantle, and a
woman who holds an aryballos in her left hand and wears
her mantle over her head. All the figures make animated
gestures. Near the head of the youth is the inscription
Micros. Next on the right is a woman seated, holding a
boy in her hands, and wearing her mantle over her head.
Behind her is a female figure, much mutilated, standing
to the left with her right hand under her chin. The re-
mainder of the relief, which is not represented by a cast,
appears to have contained either a sacrificial group (Scharf),
or warriors (Petersen, Meisen in Lyhien, ii., p. 193).
