They are seen in pro- file, their heads turned towards the spectator, the ears large and prominent, but the features are worn quite flat. A long curl hangs down over the shoulder of each. A band of meander pattern runs along the two sloping sides of the pediment. The whole is carved in very low relief. 1 Our views of the monument have been obtained from M. Ramsay's sketches, which, he observes, " were confined to the wrought part of the stone, and that the draughtsman made them too high, causin...g the rock to look taller than reality" (Journal, Plate XLIV. ; ibid. , 1884, p. 241). * Ibid. , p. 243, n. 2. 152 HISTORY OF ART IN ANTIQUITY. The eastern face of the monument is entirely taken up by a huge rampant lion. He stands on his hind legs, and his fore paws rest on the angle of the pediment ; the head, almost disappeared, towered high above it. The lower part of the figure is in better condition. It would be natural to find his pendant on the other side, and no little surprise is felt in meeting in his stead a diminu- tive figure of different type and movement.
