II. Fresco Painting representing Bacchus standing to the 

 front among vine branches : he wears a lion's skin and holds 

 a wine-cup in his right hand. At his feet is a panther. The 

 uppermost layer of the fresco consists of fine plaster, which 

 has been polished into a very hard surface, like stone. On 

 this surface the design has first been grounded in fine plaster ; 

 then upon this plaster ground the inner drawings and all 

 details have been put on in colours mixed with a medium 

 which would burn the colours into the plaster, as in ordinary 

 fresco. 



This painting was exhibited in Paris in 1866, and was 

 engraved in the Gazette des Beaux Arts for that year (vol. 

 XX., p. 232). It then belonged to Monsieur Delange and 

 was supposed to come from Pompeii. The exact provenance 

 unknown. 



Bequeathed hy Henry Vaughan, Esq. 



III. Ivory Figure of Astarte (?) of late date, with hair in 

 top-knot and hands in front of her, closely wrapped in a 

 himation. The back is flat.
