.GREEK SEPULCHRAL RELIEFS.
277
ground with the right leg extended, and with the left
foot brought close to his body. He partly rests on the
right arm, and holds out a chlamys on his extended left
arm. The head, most of the right arm, the right foot
and left hand are wanting. Behind is a trace of another
figure. The figure is probably that of a warrior, wounded
and sunk to the ground, who holds out his arm, trying to
defend himself. It may have been part of a sepulchral
relief of about 400 B.C.—Athens. Strangford Coll.
Pentelic (?) marble. Height, 11^ inches ; width, 1 foot 1 inch. Com-
pare the relief in the Villa Albani. Arch. Zeit., 1863, pi. 170.
2235. Female head in half relief, and half turned to the left.
The head is bent slightly forward, but the eyes are
looking upwards. The hair is gathered back in fine
ripples from the face, and is confined in a cap, or perhaps
an opistltospltendone, of which ouly a small part is seen.
This head has been regarded as that of Iris of the east
frieze of the Parthenon. It is, however, clear that it
cannot come from that or any other figure on the Par-
thenon frieze. It is no doubt a part of a fifth-century
Athenian sepulchral relief.—Presented by Dr. Lee (of
Hartwell), 1862.
Pentelic marble. Height, 6 inches. Formerly in the Athanasi Coll ,
No. 946. Smyth, Aedes Hartwellianae, addenda, p. 159 ; W. Lloyd,
Trans. Ii. Soc. Lit., 2nd ser., VII., p. 49, pi. 3 ; Conze, Arch.
Anzevjer, 1864, p. 224*, and Attische GraJjreliefs, pi. 269, No. 1212.
2236. Veiled female head, broken off at base of neck ;
probably from a large sepulchral relief of the fourth
century, with the head nearly in the round. Part of the
left shoulder remains, showing the edge of the tunic,
with the mantle falling over it. The end of the nose
and the chin have been injured.—Strangford Coll.
Marble. Height, 1 foot 2 inches. Grwco-Roman Guide, II., No. 166 ;
