No. 2. An Amphora. 
No. 3. A terminal head of the bearded Bac¬ 
chus. 
No. 4. A bas-relief, representing a combat 
between two Amazons and two Griffins. 
No. 5. Ditto, representing the head of a Tri¬ 
ton, on each side of which is a Cupid riding on 
a dolphin. 
No. 6. A bas-relief, representing a group of 
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 athle¬ 
tic 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¬ 
ever, in this piece is placed on the right of the 
combatants,
