Possibly the right side of a colossal statue or relief. The fragment has a fold falling across the shoulder, another going across the back, and long shallow vertical folds falling down the back. It is at least one and a half times life size.
Because o...

The fragment has a pattern of near-hexagonal rounded “beads” arranged in three continuous lines from l. to r. plus an intrusive line of three beads. It is possible from the hair of an archaic kouros (?), the back portion either just below the top (Ri...

A regular pattern of tight curls goes down to the nape of the neck which has fine light chisel work and finish. The back of the head is rounded in profile. It is probably a late archaic or early classical original. B.S. Ridgway has suggested (orally)...

Before 570 BC? (Lidya)
Curving, finely cut folds border a shallowly molded muscle of a leg (?). The piece was originally recorded in a horizontal position as possibly a leg and part of a wing of a sphinx. It may, however, be viewed as vertical, either a walking lion or bul...

The stele was set at the bottom into a base. The back, which was probably not seen, is extremely roughly trimmed. The sides are finished with multiple claw chisel. The lower part of the front preserves the scattered stroke patterns of claw chisel and...

The block is probably one of the two pieces which constituted the l. side of a small pediment. The slope was ca. 1:4 (58:232) and the size of the missing corner block can be calculated to ca. 1.00. Half of the pediment was ca. 2.30, and the entire pe...

The r. side of the stone had a moulding just above the height at which the front panel ends; otherwise the surface is smoothed. There is an L-shaped cut at the bottom from reuse. The l. side of the stone is smooth, the surface destroyed from moulding...

On both sides remain parts of the top of the triangular pediment (W. 0.49). Part of the interior of the pediment is preserved on the l. (H. 0.24; D. 0.65). Its corner ends just above the inner edge of the l. pilaster capital. It must have had acroter...

The marble piece is flat on top but cut in front to indicate a very shallowly pitched roof with a round central and two palmette-shaped corner acroteria. Details may have been indicated by painting. The sides, acting as pilasters, have no carved deta...

This architectural relief is beautifully chiseled and perfectly smoothed. The forms are simple but highly refined and rounded. The back of the relief is smoothed but has a few scattered dots. It was clearly to be set against a smooth surface, hence i...

The lion is conceived as one, not two beasts; he has only one tail. Frontally viewed, the two legs are separated by “background,” ca. 0.06 W., thicker (0.075) below the belly. The lion has a broad mane of plastically rendered, overlapping curls which...

From preserved neck and shoulder it is clear that the lion sat with legs vertical, like the Perachora lion (Boston Museum of Fine Arts no. 97.289, Caskey, Catalogue Boston MFA, 15ff.) or the Metropolitan Sardis lion (Cat. 235 Figs. 405-406), roaring ...
