LYCIAN ANTIQUITIES. 
[GROUND 
Nos. 24-27. Similar portions of tombs with figures of Sphinxes 
in relief. These, and No. 23, are all of the same early style. 
Nos. 28-30. Three draped female torsos of an architectural character. 
No. 31. Stone chest, from the top of a stele, or columnar tomb. On 
one side is a man stabbing a lion, on another a lion with a cub. 
No. 32. Square block, decorated with lions' heads, believed to have 
been originally at the summit of the inscribed monument of Xanthus. 
Nos. 34—140. These sculptures and architectural members 
formed part of the building, of which a restored model, with 
a ground-plan of the remains as they were found in situ, and 
a picture of the scene of the discovery, is placed in this 
room. The model, made under the direction of Sir C. Fel- 
lows, and presented by him to the Museum, exhibits an Ionic 
peristyle building, with fourteen columns running round a 
solid cella, and statues in the intercolumniations, the whole ele- 
vated on a base, which stands upon two steps. This building 
has by some been considered a trophy in memory of the 
conquest of Lycia by the Persians under Harpagus, B.C. 545, 
though it was probably not erected till some time in the next 
century. Another conjecture is that the bas-reliefs represent 
the suppression, by the Persian satrap of Lycia, of the revolt 
of the Cilicians against the Persians, B.C. 387. 
Nos. 34-49. Sculptures of the broader frieze supposed to have en- 
circled the base ; they represent contests between heavily armed Greek 
warriors, and more lightly equipped antagonists in Asiatic costume. 
Nos. 50-68. The narrow frieze which ran round the upper part of 
the base. On Nos. 50-53 is seen the attack upon a city, supposed to 
be Xanthus. Nos. 55-59 represent a general combat between Greeks ; 
Nos. 60, 61, a walled city, besieged; No. 62 a Persian satrap, sup- 
posed to be Harpagus, receiving a deputation from the besieged city, 
with a slave holding an umbrella over his head ; Nos. 65, 66, a sally 
from the town ; No. 67, the retreat of the Lycians into the city. 
No. 69. Capping stones of the east front of the base. 
Nos. 70-74. Columns and portions of columns from the peristyle. 
Nos. 75-84. Statues which were placed in the intercolumniations : 
they represent female figures, which, from the marine emblems at 
their feet, are probably Nereids. 
Nos. 95-105. Narrow frieze which surrounded the cella: the subject 
is an entertainment, with a sacrifice of rams, bulls, and goats. 
Nos. 100-109. Coffers of the ceiling, from the Eastern front. 
Nos. 110-123. Narrow frieze supposed to have surrounded the ex- 
terior of the building; it represents dresses, horses, &c, brought to a 
sal nip; the chase of the bear, and of the wild boar; and a battle of 
horsemen and foot-soldiers.
