This relief is said to have been
found in 1825 (?), among
ruins at Canopus. A gold
tablet, found at the same
place in 1818, which is
now in the British Museum
records that
the temenos was dedi-
cated to Osiris by Ptolemy
Euergetes L (247*-222) and
Berenice. The relief was
teen by Admiral Smyth
at Alexandria, where it
was about to be built into
a baker's oven. He pur-
chased it and presented it
to the Duke of Buckingham
at Stowe.

2206. Relief: Youth standing to
the left, holding with his
right hand the bridle of a horse, which rears to the left.
The bridle, which was of metal, is now lost, but the holes
by which it was fixed remain in the marble. The youth
wears a diadem and a chlamys flying from his shoulders.
In his left hand, which is raised, he holds a stick; behind
him follows a hound. This figure has been called Castor,
an attribution unsupported by any evidence. The sculp-
ture seems an imitation of a relief of about 500 B.C.,
probably executed in the time of Hadrian.—Ticoli.
