CATALOGUE OF SCULPTUKE.
She holds an open casket in her hands, but is looking
towards the group on the left. A standing maiden,
draped in tunic and mantle, holds in her arms a young
child, closely swathed.
The composition seems to imply that the mother had
died in child-birth, or not long after, leaving an infant to
the care of a nurse.
The relief is bounded by pilasters, surmounted by a
pediment with acroterial ornaments. The architrave was
inscribed, but only the termination . . . IAEQ2 can now
be read. The relief is in parts only blocked out. Attic
work of about 400 B.C.
Greek marble. Height, 2 feet 7^ inches. Found at Alphington
House, Jersey. Purchased, 1894. Journ. of Hellen. Studies,
XIV., pi. 11, fig. 2 ; p. 268 (A. H. Smith) ; Guide to Greek and
Roman Antiquities, pi. 6, fig. 1 ; Mansell, No. 1115.
2233. Fragment of a sepulchral (?) relief, with a figure of a
youth standing to the left. He stands mainly on the
right foot, with the left drawn back, and leans forward
heavily on his stick, which supports his right armpit.
His cloak passes over the left arm, and under the right
arm, where it covers the end of the stick. He looks
down to the left, perhaps towards a seated figure of
which a raised left arm remains, together with an indica-
tion of a footstool. The relief is surmounted by a small
pediment with an angle palmette, and a central acroterion,
consisting of a palmette and volutes springing from faintly
indicated acanthus leaves. Probably Athenian work of
the fourth century B.C.—Athens.
Pentelic marble. Height, 2 feet 3^ inches. Bought, 1901. Murray,
Journ. of Hellenic Studies, XXII., pi. 1, p. 1 ; Guide to Greek
and Roman Antiquities, pi. 6, fig. 2; Mansell, No. 1125. The
fragment with the central palmette (presented in 1902 by
J. Marshall, Esq.) seems to indicate the proportions of a votive
relief.
2234. Fragment of relief. A male figure is seated on the
