SCULPTURES FROM XANTHOS.
The following sculptures, Nos. 80-97, are the archaic portion of the collection of sculptures from Xanthos, a town some ten miles from the sea, in the south-west of Lycia. The people of Lycia were a non-Hellenic race, but the sculptures of Xanthos are distinctly Greek, though not without traces of oriental influence (cf. No. 86). In the most important remains, especially in the Harpy Tomb (No. 94) we find the characteristics of the Ionian School of Asia Minor.
