DIONYSOS.

1606. Statue of the bearded Diouysos. The god stands to the
front with the right knee slightly bent, and the right arm
(now wanting) extended to his right. He wears a long
sleeved tunic falling to the ground, and a large cloak
which passes about the body and over the left shoulder,
and falls in deep folds to below the knees, and has
sandals. The head is of the bearded type, with long-
flowing beard. The hair, confined by a wreath of ivy, is
brought in long tresses over the ears, and falls on the
shoulders. The back is flat and roughly sculptured.
The flat joint and dowel hole remain, for the attachment
of the right forearm.

The statue is a Graeco-Eoman replica of a well-known
work in the Vatican formerly called Sardanapallos, the
name having been inscribed on it at a late period. The
type has been assigned (by Wolters, Jalirbuch des Inst., 1803,
p. 179) to Kephisodotos.—Found at Posilippo.
