ROOM OF ARCHAIC SCULPTURE. 
81 
No. 14. In the centre of the Room is a block of marble with an 
archaic Greek inscription on the sides, recording a dedication of 
some work of art by the sons of Anaximander, and the name of the artist, 
Terpsikles. This is also from Branchidas. 
No. 15. In the same line is a stone chest from the top of a 
stele or columnar tomb. On one side is a man stabbing a lion, on the 
opposite side are a horseman, a warrior on foot, and an attendant, in very 
low relief. At either end is a lioness fondling a cub. From Xanthus 
in Lycia. 
Nos. 16-19. On the North wall are plaster casts of four metopes 
from two of the temples at Selinus in Sicily. The three complete 
metopes, representing (No. 16) a chariot group, (No. 17) Perseus cut 
ting off the head of Medusa, and (No. 18) Herakles carrying off the 
Kerkopes, belong to the oldest of these temples. The fragment (No. 
19) representing part of a group of Athene overpowering a Giant is 
from a later temple. 
No. 20. Under these metopes is a marble frieze with reliefs of 
Satyrs and wild animals, from Xanthus in Lycia; and (No. 21) 
a relief of female figures moving in a procession, from Teichioussa, 
near Branchidae. 
No. 22, on the opposite wall, is a marble frieze representing a 
procession of chariots, horsemen, and foot soldiers ; No. 23, the gable 
end of a tomb, on which are sculptured two seated male figures facing 
each other, between whom is an Ionic sepulchral column surmounted 
by a Harpy ; and Nos. 24-25, other similar portions of tombs with 
figures of Sphinxes in relief. No. 26, higher up on the wall, is a 
narrow frieze with figures of cocks and hens. These sculptures are 
from Xanthus in Lycia. 
To this wall are also attached two plaster casts ; the one (No. 27) 
from an archaic relief from the Acropolis of Athens, the other (No. 28) 
from a relief in the Villa Albani, generally known as the Leucothea 
Relief, and which in style and subject resembles the reliefs on the 
Harpy tomb. (Overbeds, Griechische Plastik, 2nd Ed. I. p. 159.) 
Along the West side of the Room are the following statues and heads. 
No. 29, a draped female torso from a temple at Rhamnus in Attica; 
No. 30, a small figure of Apollo brought from the East by Percy 
Clinton, Viscount Strangford ; No. 31, another figure, perhaps 
also representing an archaic Apollo, from Greece ; No. 32, a statue 
of Apollo, of a somewhat later period, formerly in the Choiseul- 
Gouffier Collection ; No. 33, an ancient copy of an archaic head 
of Apollo from the Towneley Collection ; Nos. 34-37, four terminal 
heads of Dionysos and Hermes ; Nos. 38, 39, fragments of reliefs 
found in the ruins of the temple of Diana at Ephesus, two large 
archaic terracotta vases (pithoi) from Rhodes, the one (No. 40) found 
at Kameiros, the other (No. 41) at Ialysos. 
Towards the East end of the Room are placed examples of early 
Etruscan art: Nos. 42-48, on the North side, are four sepulchral cists 
and three slabs in calcareous stone with reliefs, from Chiusi ; in the 
middle of the Room is a table case containing a series of ornamental
