IOO CATALOGUE OF VASES.
used for details of the sow, and also for the hair of Sinis and Crommyon, in the form of strokes
radiating from the crown. The surface of the exterior has been ruddled. Eye of transitional
type, wide open angle with large disk. Beneath each handle, a single palmette.
Interior : Within a circle of single meanders, a bearded man and a youth
in conversation ; both are closely draped in himatia ; the bearded man on 1. is
en face, with himation passed over back of head, his 1. resting on a staff, his 1.
foot crossed behind his r. The youth stands on a line which cuts off a very
small exergue, left red ; the feet of the other rest on the border.
Exterior : (a) Theseus slaying Sinis. On the r. is a pine tree, at the foot
of which Sinis crouches, clasping it with his 1. arm. Theseus, with his r. hand
round the r. wrist of Sinis, drags him to 1., pressing his 1. foot against the stem
of the tree in order to obtain a fulcrum : while at the same time with his 1. he
pulls down the bent top of the pine tree. The hair of Sinis is rough and
shaggy ; that of Theseus is carefully arranged in the usual Thesean headdress.
On the 1. is a second tree, against which rest the two spears of Theseus ; his pilos
and mantle hang from a branch of it. On the extreme 1. a bearded figure
moves away to the 1. looking back : he may be Peirithoos, but is probably the
typical traveller, and is therefore dressed in chlamys and petasos, and has
spear in r., and in 1. hanging over his shoulder two striped sacks, such as
travellers carried on their journeys.
[Cf. the similar sack laid aside by the slave Xanthias in the Brit. Mus. vase F 151 : see
Jalirbuch, 1886, p. 287.]
(b) Theseus slaying Sow of Crommyon. Beside a gnarled tree in the
background the sow dashes forward to 1. against Theseus, who, with mantle
twisted round his 1. arm extended as a shield, hurls with his r. a stone at it: his
sword hangs at his waist, and his hair is arranged as in a. On the r. stands
Crommyon, an old woman leaning with 1. on a staff, extending her r. in
amazement. She wears a sleeved chiton with parallel stripes clown the side,
and apoptygma, and a himation in a mass over her 1. shoulder : her hair is shaggy
and unkempt like that of Sinis.

Hartwig, Meistersch. pi. xlii, 2 (interior), pi. xliii (exterior), p. 429 ; Murray, Designs from
Greek Vases, no. 52. Broken, a small piece of a missing. Florid style. Assigned by Hartwig
to the ' painter of the bald head.' Purple is used for the headdresses (except those of the
two outside Maenads in b), the stem of the vine wreaths (and in the case of the Seileni in a,
the leaves also). Inner markings, upper folds of chiton in int., and hair on body of Seileni, in
thin brown. The hair is usually represented in black detail on a wash of brown. The head of
the foremost Ma;nad in a is entirely in outline against the wineskin. Eye of transitional form,
disc against inner angle.
Interior: Within a circle composed of sets of five to seven running
maeandcrs separated by red cross squares, an old man with bald head
advancing towards a door on 1. ; between him and the door stands a youth,
who seems from the action of his r. hand to bar his way. The old man rests
