SCULPTURES FROM HALICARNASSOS. 139
Above and below this frieze the base is ornamented
with mouldings. Immediately above the frieze the neck
of the base is ornamented with alternate rosettes and
degraded lotus (?) buds sculptured in low relief. The
top of the pedestal is prepared to receive a metal object
with four legs.
From Halicarnassos, 1868 (BiliottP). Found a little to the
west of the Mausoleum.
Marble. Height, 2 feet 7§ inches; diameter, 2 feet 2 inches. Riidiger,
Die Muscn, p. 270; Grceco-Roman Guide, II., No. 76 ; Arch. Zeit.,
1868, p. 82; 1874, p. 117; Trendelenburg, Der Musenchor,
(plate) ; Bie, op. cit. p. 45.
Circular altar or pedestal, on which is a relief repre-
senting five male and five female figures. The upper
part of the pedestal with the heads of the figures is
broken away, and the sculptures are much worn. The
subject cannot be ascertained, but some at least of the
figures might represent deities, though attributes are
wanting. They may be thus described :—A male figure
seated on a rock, with a mantle cast over his legs, may
be Zeus. Beyond him, on the left, is a smaller draped
female figure, who may be Hebe standing by the throne of
Zeus. At his feet a quadruped, deer or goat, is springing
forward towards a female figure draped in a long chiton
and mantle, who looks to the front, extending her left arm,
and holding up in it some object not to be made out.
Her right hand hangs by her side, holding an oinochoe.
Next to her is a male figure, wearing short chiton and
chlamys, and moving to the left, holding by the horns a
goat on his hind legs; the right arm is raised. Xext,
on the loft, is a male figure wearing a chiton and mantle;
he stands in an easy attitude, resting his right elbow on
the capital of a pilaster, which appears to have been
surmounted by a term. He holds a doubtful object
in his right hand. On the other side of the pilaster is
