HEETZ, CORBESPONDING MEMBEB OF TUE ABCHiEOLOOICAL INSTITUTE AT ROME. 11, GREAT LONDON: MARLBOROUGH I80L STREET. PREFACE. The Collection of Antiquities, described in the present Catalog-ue, was formed with the intention of g-athering-, so far as possible, the scattered monuments of ancient art, in order to illustrate the rise, prog-ress and decline of the Fine Arts, and to obtain satisfactory corrobo- ration of the veracity of ancient traditions respecting- the relig-ious habits, arts, and employments of byg-one nations, and the achievements of illustrious men and heroes. It is universally recog-nised, that nothing- can tend in an equal degree to g-ive a healthy im})etus to modern art, and to educate, refine, and elevate the taste of the masses, as the study of the antique. The great improvement visible of late years in every de])artment of manufacture, wherein sense of beauty can be disj)layed, is doubtless attributable in a ver}^ large measure to the facility which has been awarded to the operative classes of visiting- pu])lic museums, and hearing- public lectures upon Art in its primitive and pm-est form. So palpable and so happy has the result peo])le in the grandeur and beauty of the rehcs of antiquity, that Archteo- log-ical institutions and associations are now in existence even in the provinci-al towns of various countries in Europe, by whom collections of antiquities are formed with such eag-erness as to render it difficult for private collectors to make new acquisitions. To select antiquities judiciously is a difficult task. Not onl}' is much deception practised b}^ unprinci])led dealers, to baffle which requires an exercised eye and long- experience, but the collector has to avoid the dang-er of encumbering- his collection with objects that neither possess merit as works of art, nor re})resent any mytholog-ical or historical subject, and consequently possess no archfeolog-ical value. It is because perfectly free from all such imperfections, that the present collection deserves especial consideration every favourable opportunity of adding to its importance, and completing- it, which has occurred within the last t^\■enty years, has been eag-erly seized b}' the j)ro})rietor, and the result of his endeavours has received tlie unqualified approbation of the most distinguislied archteolog-ists. An enumeration of the different branches of which it is composed, Avill g-ive some idea of its variety, com})leteness, and interest. Glyptic art is illustrated by a collection of more than Two Thousand Specimens of Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian cylinders and seals, Eg-yptian and Etruscan scarabt^, Greek and Roman cameos, intag-lios, figures, busts, Sic. There are also specimens of the cinque-cento, and from that period down to our own inclusive. iv These g-ems illustrate mytholog'y, history, scenes of domestic life, sacred rites, g-ymnastic exercises, race-courses, warriors, weapons, ships, philosophers, artists, histrions, animals, &c. in the selection of which g-reat reg*ard has been paid to fine art, to the quality of the precious material of which they are composed, and finally to the interest of the subjects they represent. This collection likewise contains a number of very fine specimens of Eg-yptian, Etruscan, Greek and Roman plastic art in marble and bronze. Without entering" into details, it may be allowed to call particular attention among-st the marbles to the unique fig-ure of the Athlete in nero-antico, and among" the bronzes to No. 19, a Venus found in Asia Minor, one of the finest specimens of the most flom^ishing- period of Greek art. The collection of Etruscan and Greek Vases, Greek and Roman Glasses and Terra Cottas, likewise contains very choice and interesting" specimens. Among-st the vases there are several with inscriptions. Some Fresco Painting's, which are rarely met with in private collections, are to be found in this collection. A part of Indian Mytholog"y is illustrated by some very interesting- bronze statuettes. Peruvian Pottery and Mexican Antiquities terminate the Catalog"ue of this collection. Some errors of description and omission have occurred in the Catalogue, which have been rectified as errata.

J in. h. 2 Jupiter, standing erect, crowned with laurels ; the chiton is suspended from his left sliouldor. The right iuia wanting. 3J in. h. 3 Jupiter, crowned with laurel; the arms and legs fragmented. Very spirited. 2 in. h. 4 (;!ERES A verj' smaU statuette. Ceres, seated on a throne, holding the patera in her right hand, and the horn of plenty in her left. ■{ in. h. a MINERVA. ... A standing Miucrva, siinilur to the one in the .Eginetic group; she is armed with the aegis and circular shield ; a lance, now wanting, formerly reposed in her raised hand ; on her head the goddess wears a stephane-like helmet, with ear-flaps. The representation is dignified throughout. (Vide Tab. 111. No. 1.) 4J in. h. (5 Minerva, with a helmet upon her head, the cone of which is formed by a sphinx. She wears the ajgis, and advances to the combat, clad in flowing garments ; the lance, which she held in her left hand, is wanting, as also the object she carried in her stretched-forth right hand. Very pleasing, and carefully e.xecuted. It vividly reminds of similar representations of this goddess, in marble, on cngi'aved stones, and on coins. The patina is remarkably beautiful. 5 in. h. 7 A standing Minerva, clad in a richly-draped peplos; on her head is the aulopis ; in her left hand she holds her buckler to the gromid ; in her right, her lance. (Vid. Tab. III. No. 2.) 4^ in. h. 8 Minerva, in an attitude of re])ose ; a helmet, with a flowing plume, covers her head, the a>gis her breast ; her raised left hand leans upon the huice, while her right formerly held her buckler to the ground. The right under arm is broken oft'. 5-^ in. b. 9 Minerva, seated, with the icgis upon her l)reast, and the patera in her right hand ; in her left, she held the lance, whieii is wanting. Spirited, and rare, on account of the attitude, which seldom occurs in bronzes. 2^ in. h. s 130 Head of Minerva^ with silver eyes, belonging to a statue, and remarkable for a widely-spread plume of tbe helmet, which shades the face. Composition and execution very beaiitiful. 2j in. h. Bast of Minerva; she wears a helmet, without the plume. Of the fine Greek type, with silver eyes, and a beautiful patina. 1| in. h. An owl. lA in. h. An owl, sitting on the trunk of a tree. If in. h. Statue of young Mars ; he wears a helmet ; his lifted right hand reposed on the lance, which is now wanting ; and his left hand holds the parazonium. This figure, which, in point of composition and execution, may rank with the finest monuments, deserves attentive consideration, even in its details. The slender legs, curved in beautiful lines, form a support, upon which the upper body rests with dignified gracefulness. The muscles of the body are sharply defined, yet dehcately rounded by that softness of form peculiar to statues of Mars. Finally, the arms, and the weapons that rest in them, complete the expression of the whole, the eff'ect of which is the greater, the more clearly we perceive the artist's intention to depict the God of War in all the grandeur of his divinity. The eyes were formerly of silver. The patina is very beautiful. (Vide Tab. V.) in. h. Venus Anadyomene, with a drooping chiton, and her head adorned by a stephane, adjusting her humid hair with both hands. Exceedingly pleasing. Fine patina. 2i in. h. Venus Anadyomene grasping her humid hair with both hands. The pupils of the eyes, and the bracelets which adorn the upper arms, are silver. 4i in. h. A similar representation, but without ornament, and less skilfully executed. 4| in. h. Venus, naked, her head adorned with the stephane, adjusting her hair with her left hand. Very pleasing. The feet are unfortunately mutilated. 3i in. h. Venus, standing, naked, holding a broad, twisted wreath in her hand. One of the finest productions of Greek art, alike great in conception and execution. The goddess of beauty is here invested with the utmost sweetness and guilelessness, devoid of the coquetry which characterizes the naked statues of Venus of later periods. Even the minutest details are executed with a grace and beauty, only ascribable to the flourishing period of Greek art. The expression of the countenance is pre-eminently dignified, and the hair is most gracefully arranged ; the figure is in admirable preservation, and has a green patina. Found near Mogla in Asia Minor. (Vid. Tab. II.) 13i in. h. Venus Euploea, in a sitting postiire, with her garment drooping. She holds her peplum, which is inflated by the wind, over her head. Spirited. 4| in. h. Venus, adorned with a necklace and bracelets, holding her drooping garment in her left hand. Very pretty. 2^ in. h. Venus, naked, regarding herself in a mirror, which she holds in her right hand, while with her left she strives modestly to conceal her charms. The figure is throughout well-proportioned. 4| in. h. 131 23 VENUS. . . .A naked Venus, her head adorned by a stephane, with flowino; ribbons, holding; the apple in her left hand. The conception and execution of this figure are elegant throughout. 5y in. h. 24 Venus, naked, with her left hand, she re-adjusts a disordered lock of hair. The attitude of the goddess is peculiarly graceful and pleasing. The pupils of the eyes, which were of silver, are unfortunately wanting. Fine patina. 5^ in. h. 25 A standing Venus, naked, her locks adorned with the stephane. In her right hand the goddess seems to have held the apple, while with her left, she modestly conceals her charms. The figure, throughout of the highest order, is perfectly proportioned. 5^ in. h. 26 Venus, crowned with a diadem; in her stretched-forth right hand she holds the apple, while with the other, she modestly gathers round her the peplos, which has fallen. The composition and treatment are equally happy. 6\ in. h. 27 A silver statuette of Venus. The goddes.s, who is naked, seems to have held an apple, or a mirror, in her right hand, while with the other she modestly con- ceals her charms from the prying gaze. The neck and left arm are adorned with l ings of twisted gohl wire, and from the necklace is suspended an oriental pearl. G| in. h. 28 CUPID. ... A standing Cupid, with a lyre on his left arm, which he rests upon a pillar ; in his right hand he hohls the plectrum. This statuette probably served to ornament some vessel. 4^ in. h. 29 Cupid, the wings and extremities are wanting ; a garment is thrown over the shoulder. Peculiarly fine; and spirited. 1} iu. h. 30 Cupid, with the horn of ph uty in his riglit liand. Extremely pleasing and elegant. 2J in. li. 31 Cupid holding a burning torcli in his uplifted right hand — perhaps tm be regarded as the light — dispensing Piiosphorus. Very pleasing, and particularly well executed. 3i in. li. 32 Bu.st of a child, perhaps ( "iipid. The features are invested with a peculiar charm ; the treatment of the h.iir is extremely artistic. 2j in. h. APOLLO. . . . Apollo, naked, with the quiver upon his shoulder; he probably held the bow in his right hand. The composition and treatment of this figure are ecpially l)i'autiful. Very fine patina. in. h. 33* Apollo, his hair peculisirly arranged in the Etruscan style, in an advancing po.sition, his right arm uplifted; very old style. Green patina. in. h. 34 Apollo, his head encircled by a band, without any of his attributes. The artistic conception equals the dignity of tlie subject. 73 in. h. 35 Apollo hohling the patera in his right hand. Very elegant. 2i in. h. 36 Head of Apollo, ador d with a rich growth of hair, of the best period of art. 6] in. h. 37 A youthful standing figure, resembling Apollo ; the head crowned with laurels. 4 in. h. 132 Diana, advancing with hurried step, clad in short hunting garments, carrying a torch (?) in her left hand. This figure, the hands and feet of which are now frag- mented, is undoubtedly of the best period of Grecian art. 4| in. h. Bust of Luna, with the crescent on her brow. Fine. Hecate Triformis ; the crescent floats above the head of the one figure, but the attributes upon the other heads are wanting ; the daggers and torches in the six snake-Uke interlaced arms of the goddess are also broken off. 65 in. h. Mercury, carrying a feather upon his head between his wings, which are half concealed by a wreath ; he wears the chlamys across his shoulder and upper arm, holds the purse in his right hand, and the winged caduceus in his left. The whole figure is distinguished by its elegance. 5f in. h. Mercury, with a winged hat, and wings to his feet, holds the purse in his right hand, while with the left, he swings the winged caduceus over his head. To judge from his attitude, the god appears to be announcing some intelHgence. 5i in. h. Mercury, with the winged petasus upon his head, and his feet provided with wings, he appears to have held the purse in his right hand, and the caduceus in his left. The cldamys hangs most pictm-esquely across his left shoulder ; the whole conception and treatment is dignified. 7 in. h. Statue of Mercury, with a laurel-wreath upon his head, and the chlamys across his shoulders ; in his left hand he holds the lower portion of the broken cadu- ceus, while the right hand probably carried the purse. The feet are winged. The features have conspicuously the character of a portrait. 4| in. h. Mercury, holding the purse in his right hand, and the caduceus in his left. A highly graceful figure. 5| in. h. A standiag Mercury, his head covered with the winged hat, holding the caduceus in his right hand, the purse in his left. 3 5 in. h. A standing Mercury, his head covered with the winged hat, the chlamys upon his shoulder; 2| in. h. Mercury, with winged feet and the winged hat, carrying the chlamys across his left shoulder, the purse in his right hand, and the caduceus in the other. The conception and execution pleasing. Fine green patina. 4 in. h. A standing Mercury, his head covered with the winged hat, the chlamys attached across the left shoulder by a fibula. The right hand is broken ofi". This figure of peculiarly pleasing conception and execution, is covered with a very fine patina. 3j in. h. Mercury, covered with the unwinged petasus, his left arm enveloped in the chlamys attadhed to his left shoiilder, standing upon the original antique pedestal. Spirited. 4i in. h. A silver statuette of Mercury ; the feet are winged, the chlamys is picturesquely thrown over the shoulders and arms; in his right hand he holds a purse, and in his left some coins. This representation of Mercury, with money in 133 his hand, is perhaps unique. The figure is of masterly composition and execu- tion, and of Etruscan orifpu. (Vid. Tab. IV. No. 3.) 4 in. h. Mercury, with the winged hat, the chlamys thrown over his left shoulder, holding the purse in his right hand, and the caduceus in his left. Exceedingly spirited and elegant ; the patina very fine. 3^ in. h. Mercury carr}'ing a crescent upon his petasus, between liis wings ; his feet are winged ; in his right hand he holds the purse, while on his left arm rests Abundantia's horn of plenty, whence, from amidst flowers and fruits, the caduceus is seen to issue. Apart from the assemblage of Pantheistical attri- butes, the figure in itself is peculiarly pleasuig and finely patined. (Vid. Tab. IV. No. 2.) 2J in. h. A sitting Mercury, the winged hat upon his head, the chlamys upon his kit shoulder, holding the purse in his right baud, luul the caduceus in his left. 2i in. h. A statue in the character of Mercury, apparently a portrait. The chlamys is thrown over the left arm, he has the caduceus and purse, and the feet are sandaled. Tlie posture, drapery and hair are finely treated : the workmanship neat. A splendid and particularly well preserved patina. 12J in. h. A sitting Mercury, with the chlamys over his shoulder and arm, and shoes on his feet, holding the purse in his right hand ; in the oth t he held the caduceus, which is lost. The eyes arc of gold. 4\ in. h. Bacchus crowned with vine leaves, holding a bunch of grapes in his lifted right hand, while his left rests upon a staff", around which vine-branches, leaves, and grapes are entwined. Pleasing, aiul tlirougliout artistic. 8 in. h. Young l}acchus, with richly flowing locks, and the chlamys thrown upon his shoulders, holding a biuich of grapes in his right haiul, while he stretches forth the other. Composition and treatment artistic ; a fine patina. 4 in. h. Young Bacchus holding a bunch of graj)es ; the grapes are of silver. Very spirited and jjloasing. 1} in. h. A sitting Bacchus ; Etruscan workmanship. 2^ in. h. Bacchanalian group; a very spirited composition. The drunken Bacchus is leaning upon the shoulders of a Satyr and of Pan. 2^ in. h. Silenus, with a garment around his lower body. Tlie whole conception is so perfect, that it must attract the notice of every judge of art. Sileims is represented with all the characteristics proper to the drunken companion of Bacchus. His cor|)ulcnt ujjpcr body is sup|)orted by thick-set legs, and the eye, which peeps forth from tiie full face, glances complacently upon the ample belly. It is clearly visible what eflbrt the attitude of the raised left arm costs the old man. 3^ in. h. A similar representation ; the god's right hand is placed upon his side, while his left seems to have held the thyrsus. Characteristic, but not so full of genius as the former statuette. 5i in. h. 134 64 SILENUS. . . . A gi'otesque Silenus; the extremities are wanting: he is holding a vine- branch with grapes and leaves over his left shoulder. This statuette, found in the village of Estoublon, Depart, des Basses Alpes, had undoubtedly served to ornament a door-boit, whose tongue was moveable by means of a groove behind the figure. The attitude is highly characteristic, and happily conceived. 5| in. h. 65 DITHYRAMBUS. A circular bronze medallion, perhaps the cover of a box, richly inlaid with silver. Within a rich decoration of leaves, that runs along the edge of the round cover, is the young drunken Satyr with the thyrsus, riding upon an ass, from whose neck is suspended a bell ; on his left shoulder he bears a lyre, upon which he is playing. The composition and treatment are most masterly. The ass stands patiently with its head bowed to the ground, trying to discover food, while its rider, well acquainted with the animal's meekness, sits upon it, his intoxicated body somewhat inclined backwards, and grasps the strings of the lyre ; the poor brute bstens with an air of droll attention, indicated by the pricked-up ear. Found at Pompeii. 3f in. dr. 66 A bas-relief on silver. Pan endeavouring by force to become possessed of his beloved Syrinx, while she, terrified, drops her pitcher, and repelling her impetuous lover, seeks to reach the reedy shore. Exceedingly beautiful, and perhaps the most dignified and spirited treatment of this subject, although it frequently occurs in the works of antiquity. Found at Pompeii. 2| in. h., 3| in. w. A young Faun, clad with the nebris, and holding the pedum in his left hand, blowing upon the syrinx. The right foot is broken off. 4| in. h. .

The two votive arms, a right, and a left one, found at the same place as this head, must unquestionably have belonged to it. The head and arms, both evidently by the same artist, are beautifully proportioned, and finely executed in all their parts, but more particularly about the hands.

The body is quite flat, the arms stiff and imperfect ; but the face and the armour-covered legs are more finished.

Very grand and spirited. 11^ in. h. 115 Statue of young Caracalla, in the Roman imperial garb. Highly artistic. 6 in. h. 116 Statue of Scptimius Scverus, crowned with laurel, and in the dress of a Roman emperor, yet with a totally unoniamentcd double coat of mail, lii his left hand he holds the sceptre, while the other is imperiously .stretched forth. Spirited : the patina of a fine green.

J 22 Statue of a youthful hero, with the attril)utes of Hercules, the lion's skin over his head, and the bulla round his neck. One might be led to suppose that this figure represents a young Hercules, were it not that the features dift'cr widely from the accepted type. The lower right arm, and the club in the left hand, are wanting : the feet are restored. Very spirited. 7i in. h. T 138 123 A youth, naked, with a modius-like head-dress; from under which, behind, a luxuriant growth of hair is escaping. In his right hand he holds a patera, and seems about to make a sacrificial oflPering. Etruscan. 5| in. h. 124 A youth looking upwards.

The feet are wanting. 3 in. h. 130 A female figure, in the stiff old Etruscan attitude, closely wrapped in a garment, which covers the left shoulder and arm. A work of the oldest Etruscan period. The figure stands upon its original pedestal. 4j in. h. 131 A grotesque figure, with a pointed cap, playing on a stringed instrument, like our mandoline. In the treatment of this subject the artist has evinced much humour. 3^ in. h. 132 A youthful figure, with long hair, and a vest-like garment, shading the eyes with the left hand, while with the other hand it appears to be groping about, as the forward-inclined posture of the body likewise seems to indicate. The supposition that this figure represents a boy playing at blinfi- man's-buff, a children's game, known to antiquity, is not unfounded. The whole representation, which belongs to the Etruscan period, is remarkable for the naivete which characterizes it. 3i in. h. 133 A male bust, perhaps that of a barbarian, the upper part richly ornamented. The eyes are of garnets. It may have served as a handle. 6^ in. h. 134 An imclothed slave, whose features bespeak him to be an Ethiopian, kneeling on the ground in the act of rubbing a shoe, which he holds in his left hand, with a sponge. On a base-picture, pub- lished by M. de Witte, is depicted a female slave pursuing the same occupation. The slave wears a helmet-like cap, running into a point. The composition is extremely artistic, and testifies with how much care even trivial subjects are treated by the true artist. Fine patina. (Vide Tab. III. No. 3.) 4i in. h. FRAGMENTS OF STATUES. 135 The foot and toe of a large statue, finely executed and patinated, and two small votive feet. 136 The finger of a large statue, and an arm of a large statue, perhaps that of Hygeia, round which a ser- pent is coiled.

At the back of this an owl is perceived on the point of a vine-tree, towards which four difl'erent birds are flying ; there are likewise two vases of flowers of difl'erent sorts, surrounded by birds.

METAL MIRROES. 368 A metal mirror, discovered in a grave at Chiusi, in the year 1826, and published by Micali (Monum. p. servire alia Storia d. ant. popoli, T. XL VI. 1.), with the words : " Castor e Polluxe amorevol- mente abbracciati da un' altra figura d'ignoto nome." Gerhard (Etruscan Mirrors, I. 56. I.) recognizes in these figures Cabiric deities, in the presence of Minerva, and Venus with the Cista mystica. According to the Etruscan inscriptions engraved above the different figures, the following is the subject of the composition upon this mirror : Chalucasa, " the brazen," (Talos) beardless, leans upon Kasutru (Castor), whom he encircles with his left arm, and upon Palixtutre (Pollux), around whom his right arm is entwined. He advances towards Minerva, who, helmeted, and armed with the lance, is glancing at Venus (Turan) ; the latter stands at the right extremity of the scene, in a stooping attitude, and has just opened a little box, pro- bably to take medicaments from it. From the explanation of Panofka (Archselog. Zeitung. Jahrg. IV. S. 317), it would appear, doubtless, that it is a representation of the death of Talos, for the Etruscan name Chalucasa, as a surname of Talos, signifies " Chalcas," miner ; and his embracing the two Dioscuri, recalls his manner of receiving strangers. This mirror indisputably belongs to the most interesting compositions of this kind. 369 A fragmented metal mirror, on the inner side of which is engraved a naked female figure, with a pomegranate blossom in her hand ; perhaps Venus. 4i in. dr. 370 A metal mirror, with small palms engraved on the reverse. 5^ in. dr. 3/1 A metal mirror, without a handle, with engraved ornaments at the back. 9$ in. dr. 372 A metal mirror, unornamented. 5i in. dr. 149 GOLD ORNAMENTS. 1 A necklace, consisting of links in the form of wheat grains ; at both ends arc pendants, with convex garnets ; in the middle is a rosette, to which a finely-formed female head is attached.

The artist has expressed in the features, a certain joyous- ness and roguishness, which are in perfect keeping with the god's character. The treatment of the hair is exquisite.
