CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.

1166. Fragment of a nude male figure, falling to the right
and wanting the head and both arms ; his lower limbs
are sunk in the ground like those of Kaineus in repre-
sentations of the Centauromachia, such as in the frieze
of Phigaleia (No. 530), and the frieze of the Theseion at
Athens (No. 403, 2), but the figure is no doubt that of a
Giant. The right arm went downwards, and traces
remain of some object in contact with the right shoulder.

Height, 10J inches. Overbeck, Gr. Plastik, 4th ed., II., p. 406.

1167. Group of two male figures, one of whom has been
thrown down on rocky ground face downwards. He
rested on his right hand and knee. His opponent has
violently wrenched back his left arm, while pressing
down the left thigh with his right knee. The fallen
figure wears a chlamys. Of his adversary nothing
remains but the right leg and thigh from below
the hip.

Height, 1 foot 2 inches.

1168. Fragment of a group representing Helios driving a
car drawn by four horses. The god stands facing the
spectator, clad in a charioteer's long tunic girt with a
broad band below the bosom, and with a mantle flying
over his left arm and shoulder. The right arm, extended
horizontally behind, probably brandished a spear. His
head, nearly the whole of both arms, and the right leg
from above the knee are wanting. His horses are
moving to the right. Parts are preserved of the rump
of the near horse, part of the forehand of the second,
the chest, body and hindlegs of the third, and the hindlegs
of the fourth. A small part of the chariot wheel is seen
to the left.

Height, 2 feet 1 inch. Overbeck, Gr. Plastik. 4th ed., II., fig. 217e;
Wolters, Jahrbuch, I., p. 60.
