objects in table case c.
Ko. 1. Cover of a lehane. Subject, six Muses approaching
a seated female figure. The names of five of the Muses
inscribed beside them are Poly[hymnia], Kleo, [K]alliop[e],
Thale[ia], Euterpe. This cover has been discoloured by-
fire, probably on the funeral pile. Blacas. Mus. Bl.
pi. 4 5 Mon. Ceram. ii. pi. 86, a.
Ko. 2. Kylix. Inside, Dionysos and Ariadne moving to
the right as if dancing ; Dionysos carries a lyre, his com-
panion a tympanon; behind them is Eros, hovering in the
air and playing on a tympanon. Outside the cup are two
scenes of Dionysos attended by Satyrs and Mainads. The
ornaments are raised and gilt. This cup is a very fine
specimen of the rich and ornate style which came into
fashion in the later period of Ceramography. In the
drawing there is a tendency to effeminacy which marks
the decline of the art. Eound with the hydria, Ko. 33,
p. 6, ante. Nola. Blacas.
Ko. 3. A pyxis with four compartments, each with a
separate cover; on the covers are painted alternately
figures of Aphrodite and the Androgynous Eros. The
compartments probably contained cosmetics.
Ko. 4. A number of plates, pinalces, on which are
painted red mullets, perch, bream, and other fish found in
the Mediterranean. The choice of such subjects on later
fictile ware is an illustration of the taste for genre which
mai'ks the decline of Greek art. These pinali.es may be
contemporary with some of the writers on gastronomy
mentioned by Athenajus.
