At the foot of a rock, the surface of which is covered with plants, a warrior is defending himself against the attack of a female panther which has surprised him. Back of the warrior a young girl is seated on the ground. She does not seem to be very much frightened by the attack. Her left hand is raised more to restrain the warrior than to solicit his protection, or as an evidence of fright. What is the subject? Greek myth- ology offers no clue, but we know that the architecture of a certain date used to give to the people of a preceding time their own customs. In all likelihood the group is Thetis and Peleus. As Thetis the Nereid was doomed to marry a mortal, she called the wild beast to her rescue. - N « Wve HA ’ 495—Tuetis anp PEtevs i} A oy 7 ¥ “ ; * - ad = OP Ae ee ee Tht ok SVLLO|)-Vada pf Waar) ee Aon TE AND Eros Terra-cotta group found near Smyrna. (Asia Minor.) Van Lennep collection. Standing by a stone column over which hangs a piece of drapery, the goddess is slightly bent forward watching with deep attention a young Eros who is extracting a thorn from her foot. The young god is kneeling, his little wings spreading upward. The expression of his face is very tender. The goddess wears a head-dress, a band and wreath of leaves. In her right hand she holds an apple and in her left her himation. The modeling of the group is most delicate and full of life. On the bodies are traces of the original flesh color. The rock was gray, the himation pink and the hair auburn. Period, Fourth century B.C. Illustrated. VS? 497—THatia Terra-cotta figurine from Cyme, Asia Minor. Compare with Lecuyer Plate, C. 2. ‘The figure is standing. Her left arm is resting on the top of a square column from which draperies thang. Her right hand holds a tragic mask. Her head is bare and her hair is auburn. The drapery is white and pink. The style is very simple and noble. Period, Fourth century B.C. 498—Tuer Tanacrian at THE Fountain ,o Fourth century B.C. She stands in a modest IX (6 = and graceful attitude, her left hand resting on the top of a fountain from which water is run- ning. With her right hand she pulls in front of her breast the folds of her loose drapery; her auburn hair is tied by a gilt diadem. ‘This figurine, which preserves much of its original color, is a charming example of Greek art. 499—Femate Ficurine From Tanagra (Greece). The figure is stand- ing, head turned to the right, and covered by the folds of a large white himation with a broad black border. The kiton or robe is pink. The VA S, "7 whole of the body is enveloped in draperies with the exception of the neck, even the hands being covered by the himation, a com- mon occurrence to be observed in the Tanagra figurines. The hat is conical in shape. The hair is auburn. This is the every- day walking costume familiar to the Greeks. Period, Fourth century B.C. Illustrated. \> 500—Sratep Femate Ficurr anp Cupip From Greece, Fourth century B.C. On a bench a female figure is seated in a graceful attitude. Her body is finely modeled and the drapery very simple and noble. 501—SaPpruHo Asia Minor, Third century B.C. Standing on a rock and holding her lyre, the heroine is represented at the moment that she is going to end the misfortune of her life. The style is dramatic , and the disposition of the draperies suggests the school of Per- gamos. Probably inspired by a large fresco. Illustrated. 502—ANCOTYLE Fourth century B.C. This terra-cotta group represents a favor- ite game of the Greek in which the victor had to be carried by the vanquished. ‘The draperies are finely treated, and the pose is very graceful. ‘This same subject exists in various collections, as it was one very popular among the Greeks. 503—Ecyrptian Funrerary STATUETTE This small figure is remarkable for the brilliancy of its blue enamel of the turquoise tone so much in favor among the Egyp- tians. It is covered with hieroglyphic inscriptions: A dedication of the dead to Osiris. From the vicinity of Thebes. 504—BaccHANTE Silver gilt. The figure is represented seated, holding a cornu- copia. Beside her is a panther. D 505 505—MEETING AT THE TompB pe” From Greece proper. A masterpiece of Greek art. Fourth century B.C. In the center is a sepulcher monument capped by the sacred symbol, the palmetto. To the right is a warrior, his left hand on his shield, the other on the neck of his horse. At the left of the stele is a woman, her knee on the ground, her left hand on an urn, her right placed on the monument. The group is intact. There are triangular openings at the back, which are noticeable in the Greek or Tanagra, and never in the Asia Minor groups. The late Barnett Phillips in writing on this group in Janu- ary, 1891, said: “There is no question that this must have been a copy of some past masterpiece, or that some former work famous throughout Greece suggested it.” yo 506—A Soxprer In Furtt Armor Third century B.C. Standing by his horse, one hand resting on his sword and the other on the neck of the horse. His breast- plate is elaborately modeled. It is a work of dignity and specially interesting on account of the costume. m 507—Tue Baccuic Dance Terra-cotta group.

Note: Tur Lincam (Sanscrit): Tue Sympor.—An altar to the Hindu God SIVA, the third god of the Hindu Triad, which is composed of BRAHMA (the Creator), VISHNU (the Preserver) and SIVA—the last a Sanscrit word, literally meaning “Happy” or “Auspicious.” The worshipers of Siva assign to him the first place, and to them he is not only the chief deity, but the deity which comprises in himself all other deities. Thus “Siva Pura’na” he is addressed as BRAHMA, VISHNU, INDRA, VARUNA, as the SUN and the MOON, as EARTH, FIRE, WATER and WIND. Siva has a thousand names by which he is addressed, such as MAHESWARA, “The Great Lord”; SANKARA, “The Conferrer of Hap- piness”; and MAHA’DEVA, “The Great God.” 548—Rare anv Beautieut Encravep EMERALD AND ENAMEL Buckie The emerald weighing 387 carats ; bought in India in 1894 by Her- man Marcus, Esq. Set in gold, with incrustation of precious stones, by Marcus & Company, in India style, with Jaipur enamel back. (Extract from letter dated New York, April 25, 1896) — “What is definitely and authentically known is that it is one of three most interesting jewels which were brought from Delhi in 1895—a turban orna- ment, a necklace, and this emerald. They were procured from a very old Hindu merchant who had had them many, many years and who valued them on account of their association, and who never before could be pre- vailed upon to let them go out of his possession. They had come to him in the course of a business transaction with the Maharajah of Benares, who parted with these heirlooms in exchange for a wonderful string of pearls which he coveted. Beyond the mere fact that they were royal heirlooms, the merchant would disclose nothing, but that they possessed for him a special and significant charm was evident by the emotion he evinced at parting with them. : “In Birdwood’s ‘Indian Arts’ the following sentence commences a chapter on the engraving and encrusting of precious stones: ‘Gem engraving is an immemorial Eastern art, as the Cylinders of Nineveh, Babylon, and Persep- olis testify, and Delhi has always been famous for its practice.’ That Delhi may claim pre-eminence is evinced by this wonderful emerald of three hun- dred and eighty-seven carats, so richly engraved with characteristic Hindu ornament and adorned with a pear-shaped diamond inlaid in the center. Imagination could easily fancy for it a story more romantic even than that of the Kohinoor, but its history will never be told.” (Signed) Marcus & Co. 549—InpIaAn JADE BRACELET Fashioned in green jade and mounted in gold and Jaipur enamel, and incrusted with flat diamonds and_ other precious stones.
