CATALOGUE OF SCULPTUKE.
773. Tart of a relief, from the upper part of an inscribed
stele. Athene stands on the left, and with her right
hand she crowns a draped male figure, apparently a
bearded man, who raises his right arm as if in adoration,
Athene wears a helmet and chiton with diploidion, and
places her left hand on her shield, of which the inner
side is shown. The spear of Athene rests against her
left shoulder, with its end on the ground inside the
shield. The relief is bounded by pilasteis, with entabla-
tnre and roof-tiles. The figure of Athene (like Nos. 771,
772) is roughly copied from the Athene Parthenos of
Hieidias.
Pentelic marble; height, 1 foot 6 inches; width, 9f inches.
774. Relief: Apollo receiving a libation from Victory.
Apollo wears the dress of a Kitharoedos, namely, a long
chiton with sleeves, over which is a diploidion girt at the
waist; a mantle hangs from his left shoulder; his long
hair is looped up in a broad plait behind, under a diadem;
a single long plait falls over each ear; he holds out a
bowl with his right hand, while his left strikes his lyre,
which is supported by a broad band passing over the left
wrist; from the lyre hang two ends of ribbons; he wears
armlets and sandals. The Victory is clad in a long chiton,
over which is a diploidion girt at the waist; she wears
bracelets and armlets. Both figures stand with the heels
raised from the ground: at the side of the Victory is a
circular altar, on which is sculptured in relief a winged
female figure between two festoons. This subject occurs
on several other reliefs in marble, for one of which
see below, No. 775, and also on a terracotta relief in
the British Museum. (For a list, see Welcker, Alte
Denkrnaeler, ii., p. 37.) All these sculptures exhibit
the same peculiar style of affected archaism, known as
archaistic. On a comparison of the reliefs in which
