ing fruits: 2. rev. a Maenad moving in the same direction as
the one on the obverse, and attired in the same manner ;
in her right hand she holds a thyrsus, in her left, a basket,
kaneon, on which is a fruit; at each corner of the handles a
head in relief, in a Phrygian cap, perhaps Atys, or an
Amazon ; the cover of this vase terminates in a small vase
of the same form; both on the cover, and the vase which sur-
mounts it, is, on each side, a female head to the left, orna-
mented with earrings and a necklace, the hair in a cap,
radiated over the forehead, and ornamented with lines of
dots; on this smaller vase is placed a small lekythos, as a
cover, on which are two female heads, confronted, orna-
mented with earrings and necklace, the hair covered with a
cap ; this lekythos appears not to belong to the vase of which
it now forms the finial. SI.
