 1.— Sculpture in Stone and Marble. 



1. Marble relief :'a gravestone with a group of three persons. 

 A woman, Aristeis, standing, clasps the hand of another woman 

 who is seated on a chair with footstool ; between these two 

 figures stands a bearded man looking to the front. The women 

 are turned in profile though both heads are worked in the round. 

 The stone is in good preservation, the lower right-hand corner 

 being the only considerable piece that has been restored. The 

 relief is bordered by lateral pilasters, surmounted by a low 

 pediment with acroteria. On the architrave is an inscription : 

 APIZTHIZ EniXAPOYZ OYTATHP TYNH. 



Height 44 in., width 29 in. From Attica. Rather hasty 

 work, but fresh and of good period (Fourth Century B.C.).

 bearing the head of a girl. Fine style ; the head, which is in
