SEPULCHRAL MONUMENTS WITH SCENES FROM DAILY LIFE.
[Sidenote: =619.=]
Cast of the sepulchral relief of Hegeso. A lady, Hegeso, is seated on a chair, with a foot-stool. She appears to be taking a necklace from a box which is held by a servant standing before her. Hegeso is richly dressed in a chiton with short sleeves, himation and sandals. Her hair is confined by a _sphendone_, or band, broadest in front. The servant has a close-fitting cap, and a plain chiton with long sleeves. The relief is bounded by two pilasters surmounted by a pediment, with acroteria.
Inscribed [Greek: Hegeso Proxeno(u)]--Hegeso daughter of Proxenos.
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 _near the Dipylon at Athens_, where it was discovered in 1870.
Height, 4 feet 9-3/4 inches; width, 3 feet 1 inch. _Arch. Zeit._, 1871, pl. 43, p. 19; _C.I.A._, II., 3753; Mitch.e.l.l, p. 502; Waldstein, _Essays_, p. 309; Wolters, No. 1030; Conze, _Attische Grabreliefs_, No. 68, pl. 30; _Stereoscopic_, No. 123.
[Sidenote: =620.=]
Cast of the sepulchral monument of Ameinocleia. A lady is engaged with a girl who is adjusting a sandal on her left foot. She chiefly supports herself on the right foot, and helps her balance by touching with her hand the head of the maid kneeling before her. As in the monument of Hegeso (No. 619), there is a marked contrast between the mistress, richly draped in a chiton and himation, and the girl before her, who has a plain long-sleeved chiton and a cap. On the left is a female figure, perhaps a sister of Ameinocleia. She seems to be reading a tablet. The composition is framed by two pilasters, surmounted by a pediment.
Inscribed [Greek: Ameinokleia Andromeno(u)s thugater L...]
Ameinocleia, daughter of Andromenes.... This relief appears to belong to the close of the 5th century B.C. The original, of Pentelic marble, which is now at _Athens_, was discovered in 1836 _at the Piraeus_.
Height, 4 feet 4-3/4 inches; width, 2 feet 3-1/2 inches. Le Bas, _Mon. Fig._, pl. 65. _C.I.A._, II., 2687; Mitch.e.l.l, p. 500; Wolters, No. 1032; _Stereoscopic_, No. 123.
