FRESCO FRAGMENTS AND OTHER

M. v. vi. Fresco fr. from dado with festoon (Fig. 140), showing a youthful male head, â to R., part of portrait seen in Fig. 140 rising from hollow of festoon. The head is short and square, with a broad low forehead, flat skull, and square jaws ; the ears are normal, the eyes large and straight-set with well-arched brows ; the nose slightly hooked towards the end like those of the M. us angels'. But the line has rubbed off at the point, giving the nose at first sight the misleading appearance of a snub ; the hair is black and close-cropped, coming down in front of the ear on each side. The treatment of the flesh is the same as in the ` angels ' of M. III, but the work not quite so animated ; e. g. the lips are solid red without high lights. The general type distinctly Western.

On R. side of neck is a trace of pale green drapery ; on extreme R. is part of the sweeping band of the festoon, much effaced ; and on extreme L. part of an amorino's hand and the ribbon binding the opposite curve of the festoon ; dark blue band along the top. The background is pale buff, with a rosette on either side of the head in the space between it and the festoon ; that on L. is pink, six-petalled, with sepals showing between the petal tips ; that on R. seven-petalled, green, with similar sepals. Both have buff centres, circular, with red rings representing stamens or seeds. Both are rosettes of a conventional type common in late classical art.

Surface rubbed and cracked, and edges broken except along the top where it has been cut. 1' 8" x I' 2". Pl. XLIV.

M. V. X. Fresco fr. from dado with festoon (cf. Figs. 13440), showing head and shoulders of youth supporting the festoon and wearing a Phrygian cap. The festoon is shown in its upward curve, forming a black background to the head and descending over the shoulders on either side ; two of the ribbons which bind it at intervals are shown to R. and L., and the fingers of the youth's L. hand are seen clasping its outer edge, his arm passing behind. His

R. hand holds a bowl against his breast ; his head and eyes are turned 4 to L.; the face delicate-featured with very large straight-set eyes and small mouth and nose ; the outline a refined oval. The treatment of the flesh is like that of the M. ut ' angels '. Black hair shown in a narrow fringe across forehead and down towards ear, which is hidden by the side-flaps of headgear.

Band forming the festoon is black, with a bunch of three fruits in red on R. and L. ; the ribbons are greenish buff.
