room I. ture, and zeal in the acquisition of the finest 
Antiquities, specimens of it, the nation is indebted for the 
formation of a considerable part of the splendid 
collection of Terracottas and Marbles contained 
in this gallery. The bust was presented by his 
uncle, John Towneley, Esq. It is executed in 
marble by Mr. Nollekens. 
No. 1. A female statue, probably one of the 
Muses. 
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 ath¬ 
letic 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.
