E 1-134. K.YLIKES (shapes as vol. ii. fig. 18 ; vol. iii. figs. I, 3).

El. PART OF A KYLIX. Ht. 3 in. The diam. of the vase must have been about 14I in.

Chiusi. Hartwig in Ath. Mittheil. 1894, p. 155, assigns it to Oltos. The fragment includes
about three-quarters of one exterior design, with the base of the handle which was on r. of this,
and of the interior scene about one quarter of the 1. side. Style of Phintias. Purple in-
scriptions. Inner details in hard black lines. The lion's eyes have a large black disc as
eyeball. Around the interior scene, a thin red line. A spiral ornament, probably from a
palmette under the handle, is preserved on the r. of the exterior scene.

Interior : A warrior in a helmet, which is tilted back, stooping forward to 1.,
blowing a trumpet which he holds nearly at the end in his r. hand : in his 1. he
probably held the spear of which the fore part is seen : this, the trumpet, r,
forearm, part of forehead, and front of helmet alone are preserved. Of the
signature only POIEJ veSal 6(?) e\Troiria\ev is preserved.

[For this motive see Hartwig, Mcistersch. p. 276, note.]

Exterior: Lion and Lioness attacking a Bull. The bull, of which the
head and r. foreleg are wanting, has fallen on its 1. knee to 1., and is attacked in
front by the lion, which, with a paw on the back and shoulder, fixes its teeth
in the neck of the bull. On the r. the lioness has sprung upon the bull's hind
quarters, and with 1. forepaw fixed in its scrotum lays her head regardant on
the bull's flank. The mane of the lion is indicated by dots, that of the lioness by
rings. Over the scene is inscribed E?OlA0K/s* amXo? ?] i/u,ol 8o«a? or So/cels. The
regardant mask of the lioness is drawn in the grotesque method of the black-
figure style.

[Cf. the sculptures of the archaic pediment at Athens, Collignon, Hist, de la Sculp.
Gr. i, p. 210.]

E 2. KYLIX. Old No. 849. Ht. 5fin. Diam. ufin. Vulci. Canino Coll. 1829,110.792.

Much shattered, but nothing wanting. Outline of hair incised throughout exterior scenes ;
brown inner markings throughout ; and for outline of nostril and lips in int. On each side of
each handle a large palmette.

Interior : Within thin red circle, youth to r. lifting with both hands a
diota; wears chlamys over shoulders and wreath ; slight marking of whiskers.
In field, imitation inscriptions. Around this scene, near the lip, is a red band,
with a black-figure frieze of four galleys sailing to 1. on waves (white sails,
purple gunwale, oars incised, steersman). In front of one of the ships, three
dolphins, in front of the others, two, plunging vertically to 1.
