The name occurs twice in an inscription found in the ruins, and seems appropriate to a work on the city. To the central architrave in front is appended a basket of fruits, about half the size of the original ear-ring which was found in the excavations. The handle was formed of twisted gold wire, and a pearl was suspended from each side. The basket was of filigree, and the fruits were of coral and of pearls of different colours. Some of the fruits had been restored before it was seen by the author, where they had been found corroded. The whole formed one of the most elegant ornaments possible. The fantastic architecture in the background is taken partly from the triclinium of the house of the Tragic Poet, and partly...
