of the Parthenon, and of nearly the same pro¬ 
portions as the torso of Neptune, from the same 
pediment (No. 64.). This fragment consists of a 
portion only of the chest of the goddess, which 
is covered, as usual, with the aegis. The angles 
of the aegis appear to have been ornamented with 
bronze serpents, and the centre of it to have been 
studded with the head of Medusa, of the same 
metal \ the holes in which these ornaments were 
fastened to the marble are plainly visible. The 
upper part of the head of this statue is still pre¬ 
served in the collection. (See No. 118.) 
No. 76. The torso of a male figure, supposed 
to be that of Cecrops, the founder of Athens. 
It is from the west pediment of the Parthenon. 
No. 77. A group of two goddesses, probably 
intended to represent Ceres and her daughter 
Proserpine \ the latter is leaning on the right 
shoulder of her mother. They are sitting on 
low seats, which are nearly alike in their con¬ 
struction, both of them being furnished with 
cushions, and ornamented with mouldings of a 
similar style. This group was in the east pe¬ 
diment of the Parthenon. 
No. 78. A small figure of Telesphorus, com¬ 
pletely enveloped in a cloak ; it wants the head. 
No. 79. The chest of a female figure, covered 
with drapery ; it has probably belonged to one 
of the metopes of the Parthenon. 
No. 80. The capital of an Ionic column, from 
the temple of Diana, at Daphne.
