339. others to the Victory (G) who is driving the chariot of
Athene in the west pediment. But it may have belonged
to one of the figures N, Q, S, of the same pediment.

The probability that the head is derived from the
Parthenon is increased by what is known of its history.
It was found in a house of the San Gallo family at Venice.
A member of this family, Felice San Gallo, was secretary
of Morosini, and may well have taken the head as a trophy
from Athens, in 1687. The head passed in 1823 into the
possession of David Weber, and afterwards into that of
Laborde.

Height, 1 foot 3J inches. Laborde, Atkenes, II., pis. facing pp. 228,
230; Michaelis, p. 195; pi. 8, fig. 6; Brunn, Denimaeler,
No. 362; Collignon, II., p. 41; Gardner, Handbook, p. 283;
Wolters, No. 561, p. 257.

2. Colossal female head, much defaced. The hair is
gathered in a cloth, which passes over the back of the
head. Compare the figure in the east frieze, slab vi.,
No. 39 (Michaelis, pi. 14, No. 40).

Height, 11J inches. Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 9 ; Laborde, pi. 24, fig. 6.

3. Eight side of colossal female head. The hair is gathered
into a plait from the brow and bound round the head.
This fine fragment agrees well in style with the unrestored
parts of the head, No. 1, above.

Height, 10J inches.

4. Fragment of a wing, with a joint for attachment, and
a heavy support below. The figure of Victory (J) in the
east pediment probably had large wings; but the attempts
that have been made to attach this cast to the statue
have been unsuccessful.

Greatest length, 2 feet 6 inches, Michaelis, pi. 8, fig. 11; Laborde,
pi. 25, fig. 12; Overbecfc, Ber. d. k. sacks. Ges. d, Wissensckaften,
1880, pi. 3.
