Antiquities. 
of the Parthenon. This head was originally 
covered with a bronze helmet, as appears from 
the holes by which it was fastened to the marble: 
and the sockets of the eyes, which were origi¬ 
nally filed with metal or coloured stones, are 
now hollow. This fragment of a head, and the 
portion of a female chest, already described 
(No. 75), have both belonged to the same statue 
of Minerva. 
No. 119. An unknown bearded head, very 
much mutilated: it is larger than life, and is 
crowned with a very thick cord-shaped diadem. 
No. 120. A head of the bearded Hercules, 
similar to No. 117^ but of smaller dimensions. 
No. 121. A fragment of a head, crowned with 
vine leaves ; it appears to have been executed at 
a declining period of the arts. 
No. 122. An unknown female head, the hair 
of which is concealed within a close head-dress. 
No. 123. A fragment of a bas-relief, repre¬ 
senting an unknown female head ; from the style 
of the hair, which is curiously plaited, we may 
fix the sculpture to about the time of Antoninus 
Pius. 
No. 124. Part of the stem of a candelabrum 
ornamented with four female figures, one of 
which is playing on the lyre, and the others, 
with joined hands, are leading the dance. 
No. 125. A fragment of a statue of Hygeia. 
No. 126. A fragment of a bas-relief, with 
part of an inscription. 
No. 127.
