Exterior : (a) Two groups of men and youths conversing. On the I. a
figure whose head is wanting leans on a staff with r. arm akimbo, 1. hand raised,
talking to a youth en face, whose head is turned towards him, and who carries a
staff on his 1. arm : the first figure is confronted by an old man, bald on the
crown, who rests his r. on a staff. On the r. a youth to r. leaning on his staff,
talking to a bearded man who stands en face, his r. resting on a staff. All
the figures wear mantles which leave the r. arm free. In the field hang a chelys
(on 1.), a shield (part seen) with device of a star, and a sword projecting from
beneath it (between the groups), and a helmet on a rectangular support (on r.).
(b) Similar scene. On 1. a bearded man (r. arm akimbo, leaning with 1.
on staff), and a youth leaning on his staff, confronted ; then a youth resting r. on
staff, moving away to r., looking back with a gesture of surprise ; then a
bearded man, who with r. forefinger extended seems to be commanding a youth
who confronts him leaning on a staff. All the figures wear mantles which
leave the r. arm free.

fur CI. Phil. Suppl. 11, p. 517. Much broken : most of interior, left lower part of a and 1. of b
and entire foot wanting. The style is generally referred to Duris : though some details recall
Brygos. Purple is used for inscriptions, the ends of head bands, swordbelts, blood. Light
brown for shading the edges of the lion-skin in b and the rock in a, and inner markings, for the
hair of Athene and the upper folds of her chiton in a and that of Heracles in b. The hair
and beards of Nereus and Triton are coloured white : that of Nereus has the white toned
off into purple at the ends : the hair of Aphrodite and Kymathea has the locks drawn in
brownish lines on red. White is also used for the stephane of Thetis. The eye is usually
in the transitional type; in some cases the inner angle is slightly opened ; in that of Heracles
the pupil is against the centre of the lower lid, giving an expression of fierceness : in that of
^Eneas, it is half seen against the centre of the upper lid, as of a dying person (cf. E 278).
Beneath and beside each handle, a triple palmette ornament with tendrils.
Interior: Within a circle composed of sets of three maeanders separated
by red cross squares, Peleus seizing Thetis : of this group only the head of
Thetis, parts of her arms, and lower part of her skirt with 1. foot, are preserved.
She moves away to r., looking back and downwards, with her 1. tearing her long
hair, and with her r. probably trying to loosen the grasp of Peleus, who must
have knelt on 1. She wears a long chiton andhimation over both shoulders, and
a stephane set with a fringe of four upright fleurs-de-lis : the band is decorated
with chequers in three rows, which seem to have been indicated by scraping
away the white in parts. Two of her transformations arc indicated by the
arched body of a snake on the 1., which is probably biting Peleus, and by a sea
monster with scaly back, fringe of spines round neck (head wanting) and fin
beneath, which is partly seen on an altar on r., arching its back. The altar Is,
