KYLIKES. 135

Part of a symposion. A wreathed youth with a mantle decorated with crosses around his
legs, holding a phiale in his r., reclines to r. against a cushion : he turns to r., extending his 1.
arm as if addressing someone on r. The phiale is decorated with two rows of dots.

El34:i. FRAGMENT of a kylix. Length 4} in. Width 2f in. 1893. Style of Hieron. The

fragment is broken from the centre of the interior. The design has probably occupied a circle
about 6 in. in diam., a large proportion of the interior space. The hair of the Maenad is
carefully drawn as flying loose in long wavy single tresses : her drapery is transparent : her
panther skin is decorated on the outside with large and small disks, on the inside it is left
plain. The beard of the Seilenos is long, and broad at the chin.

Seilenos seizing a Masnad. Seilenos in a crouching position on r. has caught the Maenad
round the waist with his arms as she moves away to 1. She looks back at him and probably
tries to thrust him off with her 1. arm, holding in her r. a thyrsos : she wears a long undcrgirt
chiton, and a panther skin knotted by the fore-paws around her neck. Of the Seilenos only the
1. leg and arm, the beard and tip of his nose remain : of the Maenad the head (almost entirely),
the legs from the knees, and the arms are wanting.

[For the hair of the Mamad cf. the Hieron kylix, Wiener Vorlcgcbl. A, pi. 4. For the
subject cf. E 8l2,, and ante, p. 37 ; also Rev. Arch. 1894, ii, p. 69.]

E 1347. FRAGMENT of a kylix (?). Length, 1= in. by 1 in. Naucratis, 1886.

The part of the interior which is preserved is covered with a lozenge pattern, of which the
rows are red and black alternately ; each lozenge has one drawn in outline within it; on the
red this is in brown, on the black in purple.

Possibly part of an aegis ; [a similar pattern occurs on the aegis of Athene in the interior
of the Bale cup, D 4; also on a dress on the Talos vase, Baumeister, fig. 1805.]

E 134a. FRAGMENT of a kylix. Ht. 2 in. Width 3 in. Naucratis, 1886. Late style. The

standing to r., apparently holding a staff upright in her 1. hand ; she looks round to 1. towards a
