D. STATUETTES OF THE GRAECO-ROMAN
PERIOD,
ARRANGED ACCORDING TO SUBJECTS (909-1928).
I. OLYMPIAN DEITIES (909-1325).
A. ZEUS, HERA, etc. (909-957).
909. Zeus. He is seated, holding in r. hand a lofty sceptre ending in a lotos-
bud ; he has rich curly hair and beard, a large laurel-wreath on his head, and a
himation over 1. shoulder; in his 1. hand is a thunderbolt. The figure is
accurately modelled and in excellent condition.
Ht. in. Found in Hungary. Pourtalfes Coll., 1865 (Cat. 536); formerly in Denon
Coll. Clarac, Musde de Sculpt. iii. pl. 398, 668 ; Mansell, Brit. Mtis. Photographs, No. 871 ;
Rayet, Monuments de Vart antique, pl. 43 ; Murray, Greek Bronzes (Portfolio, April, 1898),
p. 61 ; Overbeck, Kunstmythol. (Zeus), pp. 122, 127, 128. The seat and pedestal are modern ;
the end of the thunderbolt, sceptre, and both feet restored. The head is somewhat of the
character usually associated with Poseidon.
910. Zeus (or perhaps Heracles). Stands on r. leg with 1. foot drawn back ; r.
hand slightly advanced ; 1. hand seems to have held a sceptre. His head is
slightly inclined to his r., and he has a thick beard and curly hair ; the nipples of
the breast are inlaid in copper. The attitude recalls the Doryphoros of Poly-
cleitos, but the proportions are decidedly Lysippian ; the head is of a Heraclean
type, but it is probably intended for Zeus.
Ht. 5b in. Payne Knight Coll. (xlvi. 16). Clarac, Musie de Sculpt. v. 802 G, 1971 D ;
Furtwaengler, Meisterw. d. gr. Plastik, p. 519; id. English ed. ii. p. 299. In good condition and
well executed, but probably Graeco-Roman work.
911. Zeus. He stands with 1. foot drawn back, and 1. hand raised ; his r. hand
holds a thunderbolt, and his 1. has held a sceptre ; he wears a chlamys over 1.
shoulder, and a large laurel-wreath tied with a ribbon, the ends of which hang
down.
Ht. 2i in. Towneley Coll.
912. Zeus, as the last.
Ht. 2f in. Left foot lost; rather coarse style.
913. Zeus, as before.
Ht. 2§ in. Both legs restored from below knees.
