70 DEPARTMENTS OF ANTIQUITIES. [GROUND 
Between the Entrance Hall and the Reading Room is 
THE NEW LYCIAN ROOM, 
Containing a collection of architectural and sculptured 
remains obtained from ancient cities in Lycia, and removed 
from that country in two expeditions undertaken by Her 
Majesty's Government in the years 1 842-1846, under the 
direction of Sir C. Fellows, by whom the greater part of 
them were discovered. The numbers on the marbles painted 
in black refer to the present Guide. Those in red are the 
numbers attached to the same marbles as they were arranged 
in the old Lycian Room. 
No. 1, in the West half of the Room, is the tomb of a Satrap 
of Lycia, with a roof in the form of a pointed arch surmounted by a 
ridge. On each side of the roof is a relief representing an armed 
figure in a quadriga ; along the ridge are reliefs ; on one side, a com- 
bat of warriors on horseback and on foot, and on the other, a hunt- 
ing scene ; in the Western gable is a small door for introducing the 
body of the person interred in the tomb. On one side of the tomb 
is a relief of warriors on foot attacking cavalry : on the opposite side 
is a Satrap seated, apparently receiving a deputation : at one end is a 
draped male figure, who appears to be crowning a nude figure; at the 
other end are two figures, armed with cuirasses, one of whom appears 
to be crowning the other. Inscriptions in Lycian characters are in- 
cised above this frieze on the North and South sides of the monu- 
ment, in the frieze itself on the East side, and on the North side of 
the ridge which crowns the roof. According to the latest interpreta- 
tion of these inscriptions they record the building of the tomb of 
Paiafa, a Lycian, for himself (Savelsberg, Lykische Sprachdenkmaler, 
Pt. II. p. 190). 
No. 2, in the East half of the Room, is the roof of a tomb similar to 
No. 1. On one of the sides of the ridge is a battle scene between 
warriors on foot ; on the other a banquet, a figure crowning an 
athlete, and a group of aged figures conversing ; below these reliefs 
is, on each side of the roof, Bellerophon in a quadriga attacking the 
Chimaera, in low relief ; he is accompanied by a charioteer. On the 
South side of the monument is an inscription in Lycian characters, 
which, according to the latest interpretation, records the name of 
Marahi, the builder of the tomb, and that of the sculptor employed on 
it (Savelsberg, Lykische Sprachdenkmaler, Pt. IT. p. 205). 
No. 3, in the West half of the Room, is a restored model of the 
edifice commonly known as the Nereid Monument, discovered at 
Xanthus by Sir 0, Fellows, under whose direction the model here 
exhibited was made. In the pedestal on which this model stands are 
inserted a ground plan, showing the position of the remains when 
found in situ by Sir C. Fellows, and a picture of the scene of the
