CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.
of Eleutherae. Later Attic work, for the most part of a
tectonic character.—Presented by Miss Winifred Wyse, 1864.
Height, 3 feet 2 inches. Rev. Arch., VI. (1862), pL 20; Inscrip-
tiones Graecae, III., 1, p. 79 ; Elgin Room Guide, II., No. G. 1;
Mansell, No. 617.
2710. Cast of one of the chairs from the theatre of Dionysos
at Athens. The inscription shows that this chair is one
of those set apart for the ten Athenian chief magistrates
called strategi. This is sculptured out of a block of
marble in very low relief in the form of a chair, such as
was in use in Greek households and such as we see in
vase pictures.—Presented by Miss Winifred Wyse, 1864.
Height, 3 feet 4 inches. Elgin Room Guide, IL, No. G. 2.
2711. Cast of the angle of a base (?) found near the Parthenon in
1838 and now at Athens. On both faces are reliefs, which
show that the base supported a votive offering. On the
front are two winged Victories confronted; one is placing
a helmet on a trophy, to which a shield is attached. On
the left is part of the wing of another Victory. Above
the relief are remains of an inscription, probably a
dedication. On the return face is a Victory carrying a
tripod, assisted by a second figure (probably also a
Victory), of which an arm alone remains. 4th cent. B.C.
Height, 1 foot 8 inches. Ephcmcris Arch., pi. 913 ; Arch. Zeit.,
1867, p. 94; Elgin Room Guide, II., No. G. 9 ; Walters, No. 1184.
2712. Cast of a group in relief: goat-legged Pan and a
Nymph. Pan is seated on a rock with his legs crossed.
The upper part of his body is broken away, but he may
have been playing on the syrinx or Pan's pipe. Before
him stands a female figure enveloped in an ample mantle
which covers the back of her head and passes over the
arms. The original (of the 3rd cent. B.C.) is at Athens.
