SCULPTURES FROM THE MAUSOLEUM. 127

1055. Bearded portrait head, much mutilated. The upper
part is broken away, above the eyes, together with the
chin and side of the face. The hair seems to have been
tied with a taenia. Traces of red colour remain on the
beard. The head is worked to fit into a socket, in a
statue.

Found in a subterranean gallery of the Mausoleum.
Height, 1 foot J inch. Newton, Hist. Disc, II., p. 153.

1056. Youthful male head, rather exceeding life size, of heroic
type. The nose and mouth are much defaced and the
surface generally is in bad condition. The head is
turned to the right, and downwards, looking over the
right shoulder. The neck has been fitted into a socket.

South side of the 3Iausolcum.

Height, 1 foot 1J inches. Newton, Hist. Disc, II., p. 227. Nos.
1050-1059 = Mausoleum Room Guide Nos. 48-50*.

1057. Male head wearing the head-dress called kyrbasia, a
kind of cap worn by the Persians, which may be recog-
nised in several representations of Satraps in Greek art.
Compare the Satrap of the Nereid Monument, No. 879,
and of the Tomb of Payava, No. 950, 7. This head-dress
appears to have been a conical cap made of linen or some
flexible material, of which the point fell forward on the
forehead. The back of the cap falls down the nape of
the neck to protect it from the sun. Long flaps from
the sides are twisted together across the mouth. The
head cannot be identified, but it is probably that of a
Satrap of the princely family of Mausolos.

Height, 1 foot 2 inches. Newton, Hist. Disc, II., p. 226.

1058. (Plate XX., fig. 2.) Beardless male head, larger than
life. The head is thrust forward, and the look turned
