turning slightly to our left, and has the right foot
advanced. He bends forward, and is represented holding
a bow in the left hand, while the right hand touches the
string. A tree stump and inverted quiver are placed by
the right leg. The restorations are so extensive that the
original action is uncertain, but it is probable that the
figure was substantially of the same type as No. 1673.
Parian marble. Height (without plinth), 4 feet 2 inches. Restored :
neck, arms from below shoulders, left leg to knee, right leg to
middle of thigh, bow, quiver, plinth, and support at side ; the
wings are ancient, but must have belonged to a smaller statue.
This statue was obtained from Rome by the Right Honourable
Edmund Burke, and purchased ia 1812, at the sale of his marbles.
Mas. Marbles, XL, pi. 36 ; Ellis, Town. Gall., I., p. 250;
Clarac, IV., pi. 650, No. 1495a ; Mansell, Nos. 1122, 1233;
Grceco-Roman Guide, I., No. 145 ; Stereoscopic, No. 147.
1675. Torso of a winged Eros, standing in a bent position
with arms extended to his right, probably bending a bow
(cf. the figures, Nos. 1673, 1674). The head, forearms,
and legs were all sejmrately attached and are now
wanting.
Parian marble. Height, 1 foot 10 inches. Formerly at Dunhill
Castle. Purchased, 1886.
1676. Statuette of Eros, riding on a dolphin to the front, with
his head turned to our left. The tail of the dolphin is
twisted about a rudder which is for the most part broken
away. The complete group, of which this is a fragment,
probably contained a figure of Aphrodite supporting
herself by the rudder (cf. Nos. 1417, 1580), and with Eros
on the dolphin by her side. The figure appears to have
formed part of a fountain, as a bronze tube passed
through the rudder. Both arms, and the left leg of Eros
are wanting. Eoman period.—Egypt.
Green basalt. Height, 1 foot 1 inch. Purchased, 1891.
