part seen ; his 1. hand, under his mantle, rests on his thigh. The figure had a
fillet sketched on his head, but the lines were subsequently blacked out.
[Found in the same tomb with this were a jug, cup, strainer, and strigil, all of bronze.]
B 93. KYLIX. Ht. 3fJ in. Diam. 9! in. Nola. Blacas Coll. Much broken, but little
wanting: surface injured by fire, which has blistered the glaze and burnt the clay to a dull
grey : in one fragment only is any of the original colour preserved. The lip is slightly off-set
in int., and around the base of the stem is a moulding. Late stage of strong style. Purple is
used only for headdresses. Inner markings in light brown ; eye of profile type, undeveloped
{i.e. disk subtending angle of eyelid). Beneath and beside each handle, a triple palmette
springing trom a palmette half seen.
Interior : Within a circle composed of sets of three to six maeanders separated
by chequered squares, an hetaira (?) and a youth. The woman (in a sleeveless
undergirt chiton with apoptygma, hair looped up with a fillet wound thrice round)
lays her 1. on the back of the boy and with her r. seems to be placing a flower (?)
in his hair ; he stands en face, but turns to look at her ; he is wreathed, and
wears an himation covering his 1. arm. Both figures stand on a line which
cuts off an exergue left red. The wreath is of unusual form, consisting of a
fillet set round with vertical pieces.
Exterior: (a) Conversation scene. Two groups of draped ephebi and
women confronted ; on 1. an ephebos holding in his 1. a chelys ; next a woman
in a Doric chiton schistos to front, looking at him, holding a phiale and oinochoe.
On r. an ephebos holding out a purse towards a woman in an Ionic chiton and
himation, who is about to take it with her 1. and offers him with her r. a phiale.
Each of the women has her hair looped up at the back with a band, which also
passes round the head. The ephebi wear headdresses like the one in the interior
scene.
(b) Similar scene. In this case an ephebos, nearly nude, a mantle over
his 1. arm, stands to front between two women (dressed like the r. hand one in a),
one of whom holds up a chelys, the other offers him a phiale, which she has
filled from an oinochoe in her 1. On the r. an ephebos in an himation, his back
turned, but looking towards the group on 1. _ The ephebi wear the same head-
dress as in a.

broken, but very little wanting : surface considerably injured, especially in the interior scene and

faint brown ; surface ruddled. Eye in developed profile type. Beneath and beside each handle,
a triple palmette ornament.
Interior: Within a circle of single maunders interspersed with eight
chequered squares, an athlete standing to r., holding strigil in 1.: his r. arm
akimbo, mantle hanging from 1. forearm : he wears a fillet with vertical piece
