ARTEMIS.
21
1559. Figure of Artemis advancing to the front. Her hair is
waved to each side, and coiled at the back of her head.
She wears a short tunic with short sleeves, a nebris closely
tied about the body, and boots. A large cloak falls over
the left arm, and forms a support. The left arm carries
a quiver, and with the right hand she holds the skirt of
her tunic. The legs are wanting from above the knees
to the ankles. There are traces of red. 1st cent. B.C. (?).
Inscribed on the plinth, 'Api[aroy']ev7]<; 2o>T[eipa Bja/c^ta.
The letters of the second line are coloured red. For
Swreipa as an epithet of Artemis, cf Roscher, LexiJcon, i.,
p. 575. The use of BaK^ta as applied to Artemis does not
seem to be known elsewhere.—From a Greek necropolis
above the harbour of Loryma.
Fine white marble, inserted in a plinth of bluish marble. Height,
2 feet 1 inch. Obtained by Messrs. Salzmann and Biliotti, 1864.
The right arm was obtained at Loryma, and presented by the
Duke of St. Albans in 1872. Farnell, Cults of the Greek States,
II., pi. 32 a; Reinach, fie'pcrtoire de la Statuaire, II., p. 316,
fig. 10.
1560. (Plate II.) Statue of Artemis in the archaistic style.
The figure stands to the front, and wears a long chiton, in
fine folds, fastened with studs on the sleeve ; an upper
garment, which leaves the left shoulder bare, and falls in
conventional folds by the right side ; a large mantle, which
passes over the left shoulder, round the body, and over
the left arm, falling in folds by the left side; and sandals.
The hair is gathered to the sides from the middle of the
forehead, is looped up over the ears, and falls in a club on
the neck. It is encircled with an ornate diadem, carved
into palmettes. The features are of a severe and dry
type. The left hand, which is held out, supports a small
figure of a deer, recumbent. The right arm was a separate
piece, attached at the elbow, and is now lost.
When first discovered there were traces of blue paint
