room i. No. ft. bas-relief, representing a group of 
Antiquities. Silenus and cupid, before whom is a female 
Bacchante dancing, and playing on the tam- 
bourin. 
No. 7. Ditto, representing an engagement 
between one of the Arimaspi and a Griffin ; on 
the left of the combatants is the bust of an athletic 
figure, armed with a battle-axe. 
No. 8. Ditto, intended by the artist as a com¬ 
panion to No. 7, and to be joined to it in the 
manner in which it is here seen. The subject in 
both pieces is precisely the same : the bust, how¬

combatants, and is armed with a sword and 
shield. 
No. 9. Repetition of No. 6.

Medusa, on each side of which is an eagle in the 
act of seizing, with its talons, one of the snakes 
entwined in the locks of her hair.

maeras lapping water out of vessels held to them 
by two youths who are attired in Phrygian dress¬ 
es, and are each kneeling on one knee. 
No. 12. Ditto, representing a female, who 
seems to be overwhelmed with affliction. She is 
seated, and is resting her head upon her right 
arm, w T hile her attendants, from the concern 
visible in their countenances, appear to partici¬ 
pate in her sorrow. This bas relief probably 
represents Penelope dejected at the departure of 
Ulysses.
