62. (24252) Candelabrum 



The three legs in their lower parts imitate dolphins with small shells in their 

 mouths. Between the legs are scallop shells, partially joined to one another 

 and, above, to the central member. On this is a molded base, from which rises 

 the plain rectangular shaft, surmounted by two terminal female busts. One 

 of these has on a Phrygian cap, the other the skin of an elephant's head (?). 

 The smaller, adjustable shaft bears a vase-like top.

Cloven-footed legs, on whose horizontal parts are recurved leaves; between 

 them, broad, flat shells. From a molded base rises the rectangular shaft, sur- 

 mounted by two terminal heads representing Hercules and Omphale, the latter 

 having her head covered with a lion's skin. The smaller, adjustable shaft bears 

 a vase-like top.

64. (24243) Candelabrum 



The legs end in cloven hoofs. The horizontal portion of each leg is covered 

 by two long narrow leaves, the end of the one below rolled into a scroll, that of 

 the one above recurved. Heads of marine monsters project from the central 

 member and rest upon the legs. Between the legs are broad, flat shells. From 

 a molded base rises the rectangular shaft, surmounted by two terminal busts 

 representing a satyr and an ivy-crowned maenad. The smaller adjustable 

 shaft bears a vase-like top.

65. (24254) Candelabrum 



The legs resemble those of No. 60. Above them is a circular plate, from 

 which rises the hollow cylindrical shaft, encircled at the top by four bands. The 

 smaller adjustable shaft bears a vase-like top.

A Silenus is seated upon a rock and somewhat turned to the left. With 

 his left hand he grips the neck of a partially filled wine-skin, which hangs over 

 his left arm. The top of his head is bald; his hairy body is nude, except for 

 a single garment carelessly draped. Behind him is a twisted stalk, bearing 

 acanthus leaves at intervals and dividing into two branches, which support 

 each a lamp-rest.

The three-stepped, rectangular pedestal is supported by claw feet resting 

 on low round bases. On the pedestal stands a drunken Silenus. He has thick- 

 soled shoes on his stumpy feet and a loose garment hanging from his shoulders. 

 To his back is attached a cluster of leaves, from which spring two diverging 

 branches carrying each a lamp-rest. In the crotch of the branches is perched 

 a parrot.
