a jerkin scarcely reaching to the hips, and endromides; his
jerkin is hound with a white girdle, and has a broad
black stripe down the front, on each side of which are
narrower black stripes; he plays on the lyre with his left
hand, holding the plectrum in his right, and appears to be
dancing to his own music ; in front of him a female figure
rushes forward to the right, looking back at him ; in her right
hand she holds a basket shaped like a situla, in her left a branch;
her hair is bound with a beaded diadem and drawn back
through a cap open behind; part of the tresses behind are
tied in a bunch, part fall over her shoulder ; she wears large
circular earrings, a necklace, armlets, a talaric chiton girt at
the waist, and sandals; in front of her is a youthful male
figure, also looking back as he moves to the right; in his
right hand he holds a tympanon, in bis left a large mirror;
his chlamys is worn on the left arm like a shield; he is beard-
less ; his hair flows in long tresses down his neck ; he wears
a tall pilos, a chiton reaching to the hips, and girt at the
waist, and endromides; his pilos is studded with white rivets,
his chiton striped like that of the figure on the left, with the
addition of two parallel rows of black dots ; in the centre
of his tympanon is a white disk, encircled by a black ring ;

a bunch of grapes and a large ivy leaf; a little higher than
their heads, and behind the figure with the lyre, an embroi-
