No. 193. A bas-relief, representing a Bacchanalian 
group, found among the ruins of the theatre of Bacchus,, 
on the south-west of the Acropolis. It consists of four 
figures, each carrying a thyrsus ; one of these is Bacchus, 
dressed in the Indian costume, who with his right hand is 
holding out a double-handled vase, into which a female 
Bacchante is pouring wine from a monota, or vase with one 
handle. On each side of these figures is an elderly Faun, 
in a dancing attitude, one of whom is glancing his eye at 
the contents of a large vessel of wine placed on the ground. 
(235.) 
No. 194. The upper part of the head of an Egyptian 
idol, in granite ; the head is that of a lion, and is remark¬ 
able for being ornamented with a crown of serpents, simi¬ 
lar to that which is spoken of in the Rosetta inscrip¬ 
tion. (105.) 
No. 195. A very large funeral urn, solid, and without 
any inscription. It has three figures in bas-relief; the 
first of these is clothed in a tunic and is seated ; the se¬ 
cond is a warrior standing up and joining hands with the 
former ; and the third is a boy carrying a large circular 
shield. (228.) 
No. 196. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing a 
female figure seated in a chair, with a child standing

This fragment is probably part of a sepulchral monu¬ 
ment. (162.)
