with a mantle knotted around her waist, a necklace, and hair confined with a
radiated stephane, holding at her side a long purse (?). With her r. she points
towards an ephebos who stands on the 1. looking on, leaning against a knotted
staff, with his r. hand on his hip : he wears an himation and a laurel wreath
composed of leaves and berries set upright in a fillet. Above his head is
inscribed KAAO^, tca\6<;. Over the centre of the scene hangs a lyre, the body
horse-shoe shaped, decorated on each side with an eye, en face.

E 186. HYDRIA. Old No. 737. Ht. n J in. D'Hancarville, iv, pi. 96. Broken, but nothing in
design wanting ; surface discoloured. Later stage of large style. Purple fillets. Eye in tran-
sition type (profile, but pupil a dotted disk, as p. 4, fig. g). Above and below, sets of three
meanders separated by red cross squares : round lip, egg pattern.
Three Danaides (?). In the centre a woman, leaning her 1. on a sceptre
surmounted by a flower, stands en face, but looks to 1. towards the woman on 1.,
who raises both hands in surprise, looking downwards ; at her feet is a hydria.
Both these figures wear long chiton and himation, and have the hair looped up
with a fillet. On the r. a woman in a Doric chiton stands in the same attitude
as the central figure, looking to 1., but with her 1. hand resting on her hip. Her
chiton is fastened on the shoulder with two long pins ; her hair is confined
with a fillet (left red) wound twice round it. All three wear earrings.

Eros and a woman. On 1. a woman in sleeved chiton and himation, hair
looped up, sits in a chair, holding out both hands to receive some object (a
taenia?) not indicated, which Eros, a winged full-grown youth, about to alight

not greatly injured. Graceful style. Purple rays, wreath, fillets and wool; some details brown ;
sketch marks. The folds of drapery on the breast of the central figure are drawn as on the
Meidias vase, E 224. The figures of the two outside women are interrupted by a rectangular
space within the handles which is left red, and bordered with a thin brown line. Below,
strip formed by sets of three ma;anders broken by dotted crosses. Round neck, strip of
palmetto and lotos ornament ; round lip and junction of handles with body, egg pattern.
Toilet scene. In a chair in centre a woman sits to r., holding in both hands
a wreath ; she wears a sleeved chiton and himation around lower limbs, and her
hair is looped up and tied with a radiated fillet wound thrice round. On r. stands
an attendant (?) in chiton with apoptygma girt, holding up on r. a square box : she
has short bushy hair on which rays are painted ; she stands to front, but looks
towards 1. On each side of this group a woman stands looking on, holding up a
with a mantle knotted around her waist, a necklace, and hair confined with a
radiated stephane, holding at her side a long purse (?). With her r. she points
