72 CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.
Nos. 3-61 of Michaelis correspond to Nos. 2-60 in the
Museum; on the south side Nos. 1-56 agree; on the
north side Michaelis Nos. 85-134 = B. M. 61-110.
< East Frieze of the Parthenon.
324. 1. A man standing on the return face of slab xliv. (South I.
Frieze), looks hack as if to make a signal to the procession
approaching along the south side, and thus makes a con-
nexion between the south and east sides of the friezt*.
The end of a rod is in his left hand.
2-5. With slab ii. the band of maidens leading the southern II.
half of the procession begins. When complete the slab
contained five maidens, each probably carrying a circular
bowl, with a boss in the centre; portions now remain of
four alone; compare however No. 345, 1. They are
draped in long sleeved chiton and mantle. [Two casts of
the slab are exhibited, side by side, in order to represent
the missing portion.]
6-10. Five maidens carry each a wine jug, supposed to be of III.
gold or silver. Several such vessels occur in the Treasure
lists of the Parthenon. No. 6 wears a chiton with diploi-
dion; Nos. 7—10 have a chiton and mantle.
11-14. In front of these are four maidens, walking in pairs.
Nos. 12 and 14 each carry in the right hand an object
not unlike the stand of an ancient candelabrum, which
tapers upwards from its base. This object is more dis-
tinctly shown on the marble between Nos. 11 and 12 than
between Nos. 13 and 14. It is encircled by a double
torus-moulding at the top, and above this moulding a
hole is pierced in the marble as if there was here a ring
at the top of the implement. It is probable that these
are metallic objects of some kind, which, like the censer
carried by No. 55 on the opposite side of the eastern
frieze, were part of the sacred furniture used in the
