1686. ■------------- ccxiii. 12to in- by 9TS„ in. Design red

on a black ground; the rudeness of the drawing, and the
unusual coarseness and clumsiness of the ware, make it pro-
bable that this vase was the product of one of the barbarous
indigenous tribes of Southern Italy; 1. Perseus receiving
the harpS and winged endromides from one of the Nymphs;
he is bearded, and stands before her armed with a spear and
an Argolic buckler with the device of a Gorgon's face ;
he wears a tall erect kyrbasia, and a bordered chiton reaching
to the knees ; the Nymph stands before him, holding out
the harpi in its sheath, round which is a spiral black line ;
the endromides, which are large heavy boots, hang by the
bootlace from her left hand; she wears a talaric chiton and a
peplos wrapped round her lower limbs ; behind Perseus is
another Nymph offering him in a phiale wine_from the oino-
choe in her left hand; her hair is covered with an embroi-
dered cap; she wears a talaric chiton, over which falls an
upper fold or garment as low as the waist, and another as
low as the hips; 2. rev. two female figures, their heads
veiled with the peplos, standing, one on each side of three
sepulchral stela, on each of which is a vase ; on the one on
the left is a hydria, on the central stele a Panathenaic
amphora; on the right is a large krater, on which are
depicted two draped figures joining hands; round the lip of
the vase, on the obverse, is a frieze of animals very rudely
painted in black on a red ground; on the left two lions
rushing at each other; between, a stag ; on the right, two
lions rushing at each other ; between, a bull. T.
