Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...is held by a servant standing before her. (North wall.) This relief, which is unequalled for its grace and delicacy, appears to belong to the close of the fifth century B.c. The original, of Pentelic marble, is at Athens, where it was discovered in 1870. 620. Cast of the relief of Ameinocleia. A lady is engaged with a girl who is adjusting a sandal on' her left foot. The original, of Pentelic marble, is also at Athens. (North wall.) 2231. Stone of Glykylla. The seated lady is putting on a twisted bracelet, which she has taken from the box held by her maid.
