period, and of Etruscan or Greek origin : — 
1. A bronze Etruscan lehes, with engraved frieze of exploits of 
Hercules, athletic games and animals round the body, and figures of 
mounted Amazons round the rim, found at Capua. (Monumeuti of 
the Eoman Institute, v. pi. t25.) 
2. An amphora, the bandies formed of male figures bent backwards, 
found at Vulci. — Pourtales. 
3. An Etruscan draped female figure, from Sessa, on the Volturno, 
in Italy, — a most ancient and interesting specimen of casting in bronze. 
4. A Mars, from the lake of Falterona. (Micali, Mon. Ined., pi. xii.) 
5. A cista, round the body of which are engraved scenes supposed to 
refer to the Bacchic mysteries ; on the cover is a group of Peleus 
wrestling with Atalanta. (Gerhard, Kleine Schriften. pi. Ivii.-viii.) 
6. A draped female figure (Diana?), from the lake of Falterona. 
(Micali, Mon. In., pi. xiii. 1, 2.)

cover of a bronze oblong cista.

sacrifice of Trojan captives at the funeral pyre of Patroclus. On 
the cover are engraved tlu'ee Nereids, riding on marine monsters, and 
carrying the armour of Achilles. The whole is surmounted by a gi'oup 
in the round of a Satyr and a Mcenad. This cista is remarkable for the 
masterly drawing of the figures in the frieze, and the interest of the 
subject. Found at Palestrina. (Raoul-Hochette, Mon. In. pi. xx. 1.). 
Formerly in the Durand and Beviile Collections. 
12. A small draped figure, probably of Aphrodite Persephone 
inscribed with a dedication in Archaic Greek letters, and engraved,

side of whose head is Eros, represented as if floating in the air.
