greater part of them more fully in a special descriptive cata-
logue of the collection published in 1891.

in front and hind legs doubled under body. Tail curled around
right haunch. The original, of black granite, in the Museum of
Gizeh, was discovered by Marietta at Tanis, in the delta of the
Nile, in 1861. On the chest is the cartouche of P'seb-Khanu I
(Pa-seb-cha-nu) of the XXI Dynasty; but this is a substitution
for an earlier cartouche which has been chiseled out. Nor was
P'seb-Khanu the only usurper of this monument. He was pre-
ceded by Menephtah (XIX Dynasty), who substituted his car-
touche for that of Apepi (XVII Dynasty), who may have been
also a usurper of monumental advertising privileges. Such con-
fusion of history was extensively practiced by Egyptian kings.
Erman thinks that this sphinx and similar monuments may have
originated in a local Tanite school before the Asiatic invasion.

53. The Sheikh-el-Beled (Chief of the Village). From a
figure of locust wood in the museum of Gizeh, found in a tomb
at Sakkarah, Egypt, by Arabs, who gave it the above title in con-
sequence of its resemblance to their chief magistrate. The most
ancient well-preserved wooden portrait statue known. Egyptian,
latter part of IV Dynasty, Memphitic Period, nearly 3000 B. C.
(Room i.)

54. King Khafre (Chephren), builder of the second pyramid
of Gizeh. The original, of variegated diorite, now in the museum
of Gizeh, was found in a shaft near the Sphinx at Gizeh. Egyptian,
IV Dynasty, nearly 3000 B. C. (Room i.)

55. Three Panels from the Tomb of Hesi, at Sakkarah.
The originals, in the museum of Gizeh, are of wood. On each
one is carved in low relief a figure of Hesi, with hieroglyphic
inscription. These figures differ in details. The inscriptions also
vary. Older, perhaps, than the IV Dynasty. (Room i.)

marble reliefs in the Louvre, found in the island of Thasos, once
parts of the same frieze. The original inscriptions forbid the

goat and the pig to the Graces. An inscription of much later date
shows that these blocks had been taken from their original place
and used in the tomb of ... istokrates, son of Erotos.
Northern Ionian Greek, early V century B. C.

63. Sepulchral Slab, with man and dog in relief. From the
original marble by Alxenor of Naxos in the National Museum,

tained from the Turkish government a permit to remove certain

rcHcs of the art of ancient Greece, chiefly from the Parthenon or
temple of Athena (Minerva) on the Akropolis of Athens. In
1816 they were purchased by the British government and placed
in the British Museum. Their origin is contemporary with that
of the Parthenon itself, which was dedicated in 438 B. C., under
the administration of Perikles. The temple, of the Doric order
of architecture, was built of Pentelic marble, and its exterior was
richly adorned with sculptures in the same material, the design
and superintendence of the execution of which have generally
been attributed to Pheidias. In the cella (that portion of the
temple enclosed by the solid walls) was one of the most cele-
brated works of Pheidias, the colossal statue of Athena, overlaid
with gold and ivory and hence called chryselephantine. (See 87.)
The walls of the cella were decorated externally by a frieze in
low relief supposed to represent the Panathenaic procession. The
spaces between the triglyphs (ends of the beams of the roof) were
filled in with blocks of marble sculptured in the very highest
relief, and from their position, called metopes. The subjects of
the fifteen metopes preserved in the British Museum and the one
in the Louvre are taken from the contest between the Centaurs
and Lapiths, at the marriage feast of PeirithoOs. The figures on
the pediments were sculptured in the round. The subject repre-
sented on the eastern pediment was the birth of Athena from the
brain of Zeus (Jupiter); on the western the victory of Athena
over Poseidon (Neptune). For model of the Parthenon and its
surroundings see 136.
