In Case 76, one with a handle, in the shape of Venus holding a dove-the Dioscuri-two Goddesses and a youth-Dolon, Ulysses, and Diomedes-two mirrors, each representing the Judgment of Paris-Eros nursing Aphrodite, with a dove on her chair—and one with Venus, Cupid, and Victory. Cases 77, 78, and 79 contain some very beautiful statuettes of Greek and Roman workmanship, for many of the best specimens of which the country is indebted to the private munificence and taste of R. Payne Knight, Esq., from whose matchless collection of bronzes a large number of the following objects came. Among them are, a very excellent statuette of Hecate bearing a torch and a pomegranate -a silver statuette of Cybele, sacrificing over an altar, winged, with eleven small busts of other divinities attached to her-four figures of Atys, one holding cymbals and a pedum―a very small statuette in silver of Saturn devouring his children-several figures of Zeus, in different attitudes, of which three found at Paramythia deserve especial mention for the remarkable beauty of their workmanship—and a silver statuette of Zeus, with the goat Amalthæa by his side. In Case 78 are busts of Serapis and figures of Isis-Apollo with his bow and arrow-Apollo Lycius leaning on a column, and playing on the lyre-two other figures of Serapis standing, one in silver gilt, another on a throne, with an eagle at his side—a head of Triton or Poseidon, with the claws of a crab, and the face undergoing transformation into sea-weed—a very beautiful figure of Apollo found at Paramythia-a curious representation of Cerberus-Poseidon, with his foot on the prow of a vessel, and holding a trident in his handsThetis, with her head terminating in the claws of a crab-three statues of Ceres or Juno seated-and Dionysos, Hygieia, and a Mænad? In Case 79 is a figure of Hecate or Diana Triformis holding a dog, torch, &c.—several statuettes of Diana, one in silver, and one of the Ephesian or Diana Multimammia, and busts of the same goddess— two figures of Hephæstos (Vulcan)—and several statuettes of Minerva in different characters, chiefly as Promachos holding his usual attribute, the owl, and lances and bucklers-and a figure of one of the Dioscuri from Paramythia. Cases 80-82 contain a large collection of bronze horse trappings. In Cases 83, 84, 85 is a continuation of the collection of statuettes of Greek and Roman Divinities, some of which we have already mentioned. Among them are-in Case 83, four busts of Minerva, one with a Corinthian helmet, surmounted by a sphinx and with rams' Statuette of Zeus. Neptune. heads on the plates-and seven figures of Mars, one completely armed, another on a pedestal, quite naked, but wearing a helmet surmounted by a high crest, and bearing an inscription in Latin; one resembling the so-called Pyrrhus in the Museum at the Capitol; an Emperor on horseback, and two gladiators—and, in Case 84, no less than twenty-one figures of Hermes, one of which, found at Huis, has a gold torques round his neck, and is perhaps the most perfect and beautiful statuette in Europe: four small figures of the same Deity, executed in silver: before one are the cocks which were emblematic of the Palæstra and athletic games, of which Hermes was considered to be the especial patron; and another representation of Hermes, borne aloft on the Sacred eagle of Zeus: a considerable number of small figures of Aphrodite, or Venus, in different characters-as Anadyomene on just rising out of the sea and arranging her hair-holding a mirror, or covering her face when coming out of the bath—in the attitudes of the Venus de' Medici, or the Venus of the Capitol, of which we have already spoken when describing the large statue in the Towneley collection-adjusting her sandal, or with two Cupids, who hold her mirrors and conch-shells, and with |
