in admiration. All wear himation closely wrapped, and fillet. On r. of flute-
player hangs a flute-case (sybene) of dappled skin, with mouth-piece case
(glottocomeion) attached.
(b) Similar scene. The central figure here sits on a cube, on which is a
striped cushion, and holds up in both hands a wreath : behind him hangs a
sybene and mouth-piece case. The figure on the 1. holds out in 1. a purse: the
one on r. smells a flower held in r. The standing figures on the exterior have
whiskers indicated in brown.
E 60. KYLIX. Old No. 840. Ht. $■& in. Diam. 13111. Vulci. Canino Coll. no. 644. Murray,
Designs from Creek Vases, no. 39. Broken ; a small piece of b missing. The style of the
exterior appears to be a somewhat lifeless imitation of a good original, possibly by Onesimos ;
the drapery especially poor. Purple is used for the leaves of the tree and the ends of the reins.
Light brown for the interiors of shields seen in perspective, the shading of the cap of the 1. hand
figure in b, the hair and wrinkles of the bald figure, the upper folds of his chiton, the decoration
of the greaves, and the anatomy. The eye is generally of the dotted circle type, with no inner
angle (i.e., the lids in profile, as p. 4, fig. e) : that of the bald old man is of similar form, but
with pupil in silhouette. Beneath and beside each handle, a quadruple- anthemion like that of
the Duris cups, E 54, etc.
Interior: Within a circle of running mseander, with six red cross squares at
intervals, a boy riding on horseback to 1. beside a tree : the boy wears a
fillet, and holds the reins in 1. The bit is of peculiar form, showing a long S-
shaped cross-piece outside the mouth, to which the head-stall and bridle are
attached. The mane is hogged and rough: the tail stands out, and is treated
in a manner suggestive of the archaic. On the flank is a corona of hair. The
tree in the background appears from its twisted character and leaves to be
an olive. The group rests on a thin red line cutting off an exergue painted
black. Possibly this scene is an excerpt from a scene of Achilles and Troilos.
Exterior: [a) Arming of a warrior. In the centre, a bearded man
en face (head turned to r., 1. foot to 1.), dressed in a short chiton, is in the act of
putting on his cuirass : with his r. hand raised, he draws the shoulder-strap down
on his r. shoulder ; with his 1. he presses the 1. half of the body of the cuirass
across towards the other half, which is already in position. He has greaves
which are decorated on the knees with very roughly outlined Gorgoneia, with
tongue protruding, but no hair indicated. On the 1. is a woman holding out a
phiale in her r., and a bald-headed man resting his r. on a staff, who look on.
The woman wears a sleeved chiton (of which the artist has omitted to draw the
upper folds), an himation (over 1. shoulder only), and an embroidered saccos.
The old man has a fringed talaric chiton, of which the lower part is spotted, and
an himation (1. shoulder). On r. of the arming figure, a youth wearing boots
stands to 1., holding in r. a spear; he turns to look at a similar figure who holds
in 1. a staff or spear, and addresses him ; both these wear himatia. Beside
the last figure stands in the foreground a nude youth, who bends forward to 1.,
raising his r. leg to put on it a greave, decorated with a spiral: the other leg is
already greaved.
