An update to figure 195.1 alongside. The subject has now been identified as Belisarius receiving alms. You can read all about it by clicking here. Image courtesy the William Herbert and Nancy Hunt Collection.
Also see this look-alike figure made by the French pottery Bellevue in the late eighteenth century. Image below courtesy the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. I suspect the French figure is the design source for the English one.

195.21. A stunning twosome, courtesy of John Howard. Height about 14". Perhaps after the statue below, a "statue of a priestess or muse from a Hellenistic original" in the Capitoline Museum, Rome.

195.22. Adonis.
195.22. This figure is said to be Adonis. It is impressed "WEDGWOOD" and was made by Ralph Wedgwood. It is the only recorded example. (c) Skinner Auctions..

195.23-24. This beautiful pair is in the National Museum of Scotland. (c) National Museum of Scotland.
195.25. It appears that there may be something missing from this little figure's hands. If so, perhaps it was a garland, which would make her Flora.

195.26. Actaeon the hunter. Impressed "Neale & Co." A unique figure that is the companion to the small Neale Pomona shown in Volume 4. Photographed from Edwards, "Neale Pottery and Porcelain." Also see Vol. 4, fig 171.30 for a cruder depiction of Actaeon.

195.27. Cybele (L) with Ceres (R). Inscribed "John Cartledge at the Lodge in the plantation COWBRIDGE 1800." From Haggar, "Staffordshire Chimney Ornaments."
195.28. Possibly the nymph Salmacis, whose body was united that of Hermaphroditus to form a single being that was both male and female. At 73 cms or 28.74 inches, this is the second largest figure on record. Courtesy Fieldings Auctions.
195.29. The identity of this figure is not known. The same figure is shown in Vol. 4, fig. 194.37, with a dove in hand and is described as Venus. However, the hand on this figure is unrestored, so I suspect the figure in Vol. 4 received a dove, courtesy of an imaginative restorer. Courtesy Skinner, Inc.
