C. 117. Panathenaic Amphora, cv. 2 ft. 8 in. Design
black, white, and yellow on a red ground; 1. Pallas Athene
standing to the right between two Ionic (?) columns; her left
foot advanced; in her right hand she brandishes a spear, the
point slightly inclined downwards; her left arm is advanced
for defence, armed with an Argolic buckler; she wears
a helmet, earrings, a necklace, armlets, the aegis, and a talaric
chiton, over which is a diplo'idion, girt at the waist and falling
in pteruges a little below the hips; from her arms hangs a
small peplos; her helmet covers the back of the neck, and
is ornamented on the side with a tendril, helix; it has cheek-
pieces, paragnathides, turned up at each side, and a frontal
ridge, geison, behind which is a line of wave pattern; it has a
lofty crest, the plume of which falls as low as the shoulder,
and which rests on a support in the form of a double volute;
the necklace is formed of two rows of circular pendants ;
the agis has probably been painted white ; nothing of it now
remains but the Gorgon's head in the centre, and the fringe
of serpents on the left; the chiton, diplo'idion, peplos, and
girdle are ornamented with spots and patches of white ; the
inside of the shield is shown; it is held by a central broad
strap, ochanon, through which the arm passes, and a narrower
strap, porpax, held in the hand ; the ochanon is ornamented
at either end with the honeysuckle flower, anthemion; the
flesh of Athene is painted white, the inner markings of the
anatomy and the personal ornaments are picked out with
yellow; on either column stands a small figure of Athene
