cord of the lyre, the headdresses, and the loops on the hurling rods. Fine brown lines for the
anatomy, the whiskers and the upper folds of Hermes' chiton. Eye of archaic form (disc close

and caduceus raised in r., runs to r., looking back, over waves. He is bearded and
wears a short chiton, chlamys, petasos of archaic form, and winged endromides.
The waves are indicated by a space left red, of which the border is a wavy line.
[This scene was interpreted by Lenormant, loc. at., as the flight of Hermes after stealing
the lyre of Apollo (cf. Homeric Hymn to Hermes, 1. 314) ; see, however, Roscher, loc. cit.~]
