an anthemion. Inside are two fountains, one on the 1. issuing from a lion's
head, the other, seen from the front, from a panther's head ; from each water is
pouring into a hydrla, the one on the r. shaped like a calpls. Standing outside
the building are two maidens to 1., each holding a flower in r. hand ; they have
long tresses, fillets, bracelets on 1. arms, long embroidered chitons with diploldia,
and pads on their heads to support the hydrlae. Above them is inscribed KAVIPE
KAVE, Ka\(\)LTr(Tr)r) KaXr), and behind them, MEJIVA KAVE, M(v)>jcri,~K.(\)a xaXr).

their heads supported on pads ; one carries a branch in r. hand, in 1. a flower ; the
hydi-ia of the other is shaped like a calpls ; in front of them is inscribed, above,
POAON, 'FoSov, and lower down, E[P]E$IVA KA\E, 'E[p]e<rtA(X)a koXi). In front
of them is a similar pair of maidens to r., also leaving the fountain, with
embroidered himatia but no bracelets ; the nearer one carries a liydria (shaped

as the last two, with an empty hydrla carried horizontally on a pad, in r. hand a
branch.
