Hard green limestone; height, 3½ inches; width, 10 inches. Puchstein, Das Ionische Capitell, p. 50.
5.Fragment of relief. Head and shoulder of rampant lion. From the shape of the fragment it appears to have been a part of a triangular relief filling the space above a doorway. (Compare No. 1 and the Gate of Lions at Mycenae.) The lion's paw is extended as if towards another lion confronting him. A pattern is drawn in fine lines on the shoulder. Behind the lion is a branch of laurel.
Fig. 2.—Relief from Mycenae (?), No. 5.
A part of this relief has been exposed to a corroding influence, which has acted uniformly on the surface, so that the design is sunk, but not obliterated.—Mycenae (?) Elgin Coll.
Limestone; height, 1 foot 10¼ inches; width, 2 feet 2 inches. Synopsis, No. 204 (158). Murray (2nd ed.), I., p. 61.
6.Fragment of relief. Forelegs and part of body of bull standing to left. A joint is worked in the stone, in front of the bull.—Mycenae (?) Elgin Coll.
