SCULPTURES FROM THE MAUSOLEUM. 125

1048. Draped male torso, clad in a cMton girt at the waist
and reaching a little below the knees. This torso is
broken off at the waist and also below the knees. A
small part of the girdle is seen at the back. The figure
has stood in an easy attitude, the right leg crossed over
the other, which carries all the weight. The composition
of this figure is simple and dignified.

Height, 3 feet 6 inches. Newton, Hist. Disc, II., p. 223.

1049. Draped torso, from the breast to the knees. The
figure stands in an easy attitude, with the weight thrown
on the right leg, and wears a tunic, which is drawn
up in loose folds over the girdle.

Found on south side of the Mausoleum.

Height, 3 feet 1J inches. Newton, Hist. Disc, XL, p. 129.

1050. Draped male torso from the breast to the middle of the
thighs, the back broken away. The figure stands with
the weight resting on the right leg. The drapery
appears to be a mantle, fitting somewhat closely to the
body, and showing its outlines.

Found outside the northern Peribolos wall of the Mausoleum.

Height, 3 feet 4 inches.

1051. Colossal female head. Kound the face is a triple row
of curls like that of Artemisia, symmetrically arranged,
each curl being terminated in a conventional spiral. The
remainder of the hair is drawn back to form a mass at
the back of the head, covered by a close-fitting cap.
This head is remarkable for largeness and simplicity of
treatment, in the manner of Scopas. The cast of features,
though ideal, does not recall any known type of goddess.
The front of the face and part of the hair has been much
injured; the head inclines towards the left shoulder;
the neck appears to have been broken off from a statue.
