who extends his right hand towards her in supplication.
She wears a talaric chiton painted white, with a narrow
red stripe round the skirt above the ankles; from her
shoulders hangs a red scarf bordered with white; above
the waist her chiton has been painted yellow ; on one wing
are traces of blue colour, the other has been painted red;
her hair, gathered into a knot behind, is black. The body of
Kephalos is red ; his hair appears to have been blue, like
the wing against which it is relieved. The base on which
Aurora runs is bine. The colours are very fresh, but the
relief is rather deficient in sharpness, as if from an old
mould. Kameiros. S. & B. Salzmann, Necropole de
Camiros; Harrison, No. 783, fig. 3. For the same subject
in terracotta emblemata, see E. Curtius, in Archaol. Zeitung,

(57) Peleus seizing Thetis. She is moving to the right
to escape from Peleus, who seizes her round the waist,
passing his left arm round her body and pressing his head
against her right side ; his hands are locked together ; he
leans forward ; she looks to the front, raising her left hand
to her head ; her hair is waved over the forehead, and falls
in long tresses over her shoulders. She wears a talaric
chiton with short sleeves, over which is another garment
as low as the knees; a fold or diploidion falls from the
shoulders to the waist, hanging over the upper part of the
arms. On the right, one phase of her transformation is
represented by a lion rising on his hind legs, and seizing
the skirt of her upper garment with his teeth; this lion
has been coloured yellow, with red in his mane. Thetis has
had yellow hair ; her short upper garment is painted white
on the body and red on the left side ; her face is white.
The hair of Peleus is red ; his form is meagre. The ground
on which the scene takes place is broken in outline as if to
represent rocks ; a portion is painted white with black
spots, perhaps to represent the shingly sea-beach; below is
a plinth painted blue, on which may be traced the letters

the ground on the left. Artemis, the upper part of her
figure down to the waist broken away, advances upon him
who extends his right hand towards her in supplication.
