KYLIKES. 95
Exterior: (a) Symposion of five figures. They recline on the ground to
r., resting against cushions, in attitudes and dress similar to the figures on the
interior, except that they have, instead of a crown of vine, a fillet with an upright
piece over the forehead. On the right an ephebos in the same attitude as the 1.
hand one in the interior, and holding a cotyle on his 1. hand ; next, a bearded
man, who looks round at the first, twirling aloft a kylix on his forefinger ; the
fingers of his 1. hand, on which he leans, are extended upwards ; next, an
ephebos, with head thrown back and clasped with his r. arm ; he holds a cotyle on
his 1.; next, an ephebos who holds a cotyle and twirls a kylix ; and an ephebos
who twirls a kylix, but turns round, extending his 1. hand, palm outwards and
fingers down, towards the cotyle of the last. In the centre of the design hang
a basket and sybene ; on r. a crutch stick, further on a small kylix and another
basket. In the field, imitation inscriptions.
(b) Five similar figures. The r. hand figure twirls a kylix on his r.
forefinger, and holds a cotyle on his 1. hand ; the next twirls a kylix, looking
round at the last figure ; the third twirls a kylix in his r. ; his 1., which has been
raised, is wanting from the biceps, as well as the crown of his head ; the fourth
figure is bearded and looks round at the third ; he raises his r. with fingers
extended, and holds a cotyle on his 1. ; the fifth looks to 1. and twirls a kylix in
his r., holding a cotyle on his 1. In the background are two crutched sticks, a
kylix (?) as in a, but half broken away, and on the extreme r. a basket. In
the field, AE^FIXJ, which seems to be merely an imitation of a name.
Below a and b is a frieze of objects similar to that in E 64; below the
bearded man in b a pair of boots to r., then (on r.) an oinochoe on its side, a
cotyle, a pair of boots, a cotyle, an oinochoe as before, a pair of boots, a cotyle,
a cantharos, and a cotyle.

Formerly in Basseggio Coll. Arch. Zeit. 1870, pi. 39, p. 106 (from a drawing found among
Gerhard's Collection : at that time the surface was much repainted and restored : since
cleaned) ; Murray, Designs from Greek Vases, no. 49; cf. Hartwig, Mcistersch. p. 238 and p. 327.
Broken, and surface damaged by the scraping down of the edges of the fragments : small portions
of all three scenes wanting. Style of Brygos. Purple used for inscriptions, vine wreaths, and
cords of baskets ; brown inner markings. The hair of the figures in hit. has a row of raised
black dots along the outline. Eye of archaic form, but with disk close to inner angle.
Interior : Within a circle of single meanders, an ephebos stooping to r. and
playing on flutes; a spotted mantle hangs from his 1. shoulder, on head a vine
wreath. Beside him in the background his knotted staff, leaning obliquely, with
a basket (part only preserved). The r. foot of the figure rests on the border;
the 1. foot advanced (apparently in air) is wanting. In the field imitation (?)
inscriptions, l.3< and NONO.
[For the inscriptions here and in a and b, cf. E 439, and De Witte, Coll. Czartoryski,
pi. 32, where the letters NON apparently represent the sound of the flutes.]
Exterior: {a) Scene of revelry, in which three ephebi wreathed with vine
take part. On the r. an ephebos like the one in the interior scene leans on staff,
