GREEK AND ROMAN ANTIQU'lTIES. '"^-*"- 67 



III. Bronze statuette of a negro boy mounted on a High base. 

 The figure, which is infibulated, is of a strong thin-limbed 

 type ; he is nude and stands with his left foot advanced, right 

 hand on hip, and left hand raised above the head. On the 

 palm of the hand are marks of an attachment, as if it had 

 supported some heavy object, such as a lamp, and the eyes are 

 directed towards the hand. The base is unusually large, 

 circular in shape, and supported on three lion's feet. Both 

 statuette and base have an uncommonly fine smooth grey patina. 

 A bronze knotted club, which was found with the statuette, 

 but does not belong to it, was presented at the same time. 



Graeco-Roman work of the best period.
