No. 38. A statue of the muse Urania : both 
the hands are wanting; but, from the position 
of the arms, it is probable that the figure held a

in the left hand. It is three feet ten inches 
high, and is one of the largest statues that has 
been found of terracotta. PI. xxi.

of Sir Hans Sloane.

arm upon a pile of writing tablets which are
