1810:] 
No. 27. A female Bacchante offering 
a basket of figs to the goddess Pudicitia. 
If this marble be rightly appropriated, 
the subject is exceedingly rare. 
No. 28. Fauns gathering grapes ento 
baskets. 
No. 29. Repetition of No. 21. 
No. 80. Bacchus, Fauns, &c. 
No, 31. Fauns leaning over a vessel of 
wine, &¢c. Modern artists should re- 
member, that the tails of Fauns are not 
continuations of the os sacrum, but 
parallel with the hips, as in all the Pauns 
here. 
No. 32. A Trophy, and Captive se- 
cured by a chain te a guard. This was 
ene method of ancient imprisonment. 
S. Paul alludes to it. See Acts 12, G. 
Suet. Domit. 14. n. 7. 
No. 33. Fauns gathering grapes. 
No. 34. Paris carrying off Helen in 
a guadriga. Traces are présumed to be 
modern; but the present car resembles 
in form those without poles, (whether 
forgotten, or omitted, because the cars 
were drawn by traces?) engraved in 
Winckelinann’s Monum. Antich. n. 134, 
and Caylus, v. 2. 
No. 35. Egyptian hieroglyphics. 
No. 36. [wo persons navigating the 
Nile, §c. Sc. This isevidently a Roman 
imitation of Egyptian works: a fashion 
which became common about the time 
of [ladrian. The persons are probably 
Hadrian, and his favourite Antinous. 
In this bas-relief is a house in the modern 
fashion; as there is on the margin of the 
famous figure of the Erber. 
No. 37. Vase, with panther, thyrsus, 
gc. imperfect. 
No. 38. The goddess Salus. ‘ Both 
the hands are wanting; but from the 
position of the arms, it 1s apparent, that 
the figure held a serpent in the right 
hand, and a patera in the left.” Thus 
the Catalsgue: the symbols apply to. 
Hygeia, (see Perier and La Chausse) 
whom some writers make synonimous 
with Salus; but others distinguish her 
from the Sa/us on coins. 
No. 59. An Amphora. 
No. 40. A Muse. It is Polyhymnia. 
See Stosch, Vaill. n. 20. Pembr. Nu- 
Mistile Pele pls Te 
No. 41. Amphora. 
No. 42. A bas-relief, representing a 
short naked human figure, with a long 
thick beard, holding in each hand the 
stem of a plant. On each side is seated a 
quadruped, whose head is that of an 
elderly man, and whese tail terminates 
ina flower. From the head-dress and 
Remarks upon the Townley Statues. 523 
close legs, the human figure is evidently 
Egyptian, or an imitation. The tail of 
the quadruped is that of a sphinx. 
No. 43. Cupids with festoons.* 
No. 44. A Faun and Bacchante, hold- 
ing between them the infant Bacchus in a 
winnowing basket. The basket is hke 
the modern, 
No. 45. 46. Heads of Pan and Satyrs. 
A}l the three heads resemble each other. 
It seems, that an indented nose was cons 
sidered, by this sculptor at least, an in- 
dispensable characteristic of Pans and 
Satyrs. Now the nose of the Pan and 
Satyrs on the coins of Antigonus and the 
Florentine gems, tom. 1. pl. 86. n. 5, 
is Roman, or aquiline, as in most other 
instances; the whole face being a he- 
goat’s head, humanized. his Pan is 
according to the features a Si/enus, and 
the Satyrs have at least more of Fauns, 
No. 47. The Indian Bacchus received 
as a guest by Icarus. ‘The Indian Bac- 
chus very commonly occurs upon the 
Farnesian, Herculanean, and Hamilto- 
nian vases, but attention must be paid to 
the remarks of C. Caylus, Rec. pl. 4. 2. 
1 and 2, about the similarity of the Indi- 
an and Egyptian Bacchus. 
No. 48. Fauns riding on Panthers, 
Sc. ; 
No. 49. A Bull and a Lior. The 
hind parts of the bull, and the face af 
the lion, are very badly done. * 
No. 50. A lighted Candelabrum com- 
posed entirely of a flower, on each side a 
Priestess, holding up her robe. See 
No. 19. 
No. 51. Autumn and Winter. The 
symbols are fruit, the undoubted charac- 
teristic of autumn, and game carried by 
a staff across the shoulder, like the rab- 
bit-sellers in London. The appropria- 
tion is proved to be correct by other 
instances; and La Chausse and Mount- 
faucon (Antig. expliq. ill. ‘p. 2. b. 4. ¢. 5.) 
are probably mistaken in denominating 
a figure, thus carrying game, a hunter. 
No. 52. Hygeia or Salus, feeding out 
of a patera, a serpent turned round the 
trunk of a tree, from a branch of which 
are suspended two cast-off skins of the 
* Qu. If it ought not to be Genii with 
festoons: They are quite common upon 
sarcophagi; but in Stusch are no less than 
. 300 Lowes in different groupes, attitudes, &c. 
If many were not intended for Gemi? no 
explicatians being found in mythology. 
+ They are probaoly Taurus and ¢ 
part of the gudiacal signs, from their run 
in contrary directions; bas-reliefs 0: 
zodiac being quite common,
