26. An amphora, of fictile ware, and of late style, with design representing a female 

 flute player. From Magna Grsecia, probably from Gnatia, in Apulia. 



27. An archaic terra-cotta statuette. From Sicily. 



28. A bronze mirror cover, on one side of which is incised a figure of Eros carrying an 

 amphora in one hand and a situla in the other. This figure is exquisitely drawn, and has 

 been originally plated with silver and in parts gilt. Part of the silver plating and the 

 gilding remains. On the outside of the cover was a group, now detached, in relief, 

 representing Aphrodite seated on a rock and Eros standing beside her. This group is 

 remarkable for the refinement of the composition. Said to have been found in Crete, 

 but more probably in Corinth. 



29. A bronze ca^Mcews inscribed AONFENAIOS EMI AEMOS .... Found in a tomb 

 in Sicily, and probably a herald's staff of office in the town Longane, of which coins are 

 extant. The letters in this inscription are of an early character.

 upwards by the eagle.

 Euvo. 



33. An iconic bust in marble, life size, probably of the Augustan age. The portrait, 

 which is that of a male figure, is very interesting, and has not yet been identified.

 the Graeco-Phoenician period.
