The following fragments are inserted in the restoration of the sculptured base:--
[Sidenote: 4.]
Upper part of male figure in high relief standing to the right, wearing a close-fitting tunic, with sleeves to the elbows, and having a lion's skin about the body and with long hair. The upper part of the face is broken away. The right arm was bent at the elbow, and crossed the body.
Height, 2 feet. _Journ. of h.e.l.len. Studies_, X., pl. 3.
[Sidenote: 5.]
Lower part of male figure in high relief standing to the right, wearing what appears to be a himation, falling to the knees.

[Sidenote: 6.]
Female head, to the right, in high relief. The hair is enclosed by a diadem, and falls down on the shoulders. A large circular earring in the right ear. There are considerable remains of dark red paint in the hair. The chin is broken away.
Height, 1 foot 1/2 inch. Murray, I., p. 111.
[Sidenote: 7.]
Middle part of a female figure, to the right, in high relief. The figure wears a tunic, tied with a narrow girdle, and a diplodion which fell in long folds at the sides. A key-pattern was painted on the central fold of the dress.

The following fragments from the bases of the columns, are not inserted in the restoration:--
[Sidenote: =30.=]
Fragment, in high relief, of the head and shoulders of a figure, from the drum of a column. The front surface is broken away, but the figure appears to have looked to the front, with long hair falling on the shoulders, which are draped.

[Sidenote: =31.=]
Fragment, in high relief, of the right thigh of a draped figure, standing to the right.

[Sidenote: =32.=]
Middle part of a draped figure to the left in high relief. The figure wears a tunic with sleeves and himation. The left hand is pressed close to the thigh.
