CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.

2705. Cast of upper part of a sepulchral relief. Youth,
standing, with hird in left hand and right hand raised;
behind it a bird-cage. A cat lies on the top of a stele,
against which a slave boy is leaning. The original, from
Salamis, is at Athens.

Height, 3 feet 2 inches. The crowning palmette ornament is
wanting; Conze, Attische Grabreliefs, No. 1032, pi. 204;
Wolters, No. 1012.

2706. Cast of a sepulchral relief. A youth stands holding
a horse, while he gives drink to a snake coiled about
the stem of a tree. Two birds are perched in the tree,
about which armour is grouped. A boy advances with a
helmet and a palm branch. Behind him is an ornate
amphora on a cippus. The relief is bounded by pilasters
and an entablature. This is a very late example of the
type of heroified horseman, discussed above, vol. i., p. 301.
The original, from Luku, is in the National Museum at
Athens.

Height, 2 feet 1 inch. Exp. de More'c, III., pi. 91. For further
refs. see von Sybel, No. 57-1.

2707. Cast of a relief in the Villa Albani at Eome. On the
left is a female figure, seated with a mirror and pome-
granate ; in the centre a candelabrum; on the right
Athene; in the background a temple and altar. Of the
whole, however, apparently only the left-hand lower
corner, with the seated figure (as far as the wrists and
middle of the thighs) and the rabbit, is antique. These
appear to belong to an Attic relief.

Height, 3 feet 7 inches. Muller-Wieseler, Denkmaclcr, II., pi. 24,
No. 257; Michaelis, Arch. Zcit., 1871, p. 138, note.

2708. Cast of a bronze right foot from a male statue, slightly

a stone pedestal, and from the jwsition of the two feet it
