for shading folds of drapery. Eye in profile. Extremities carefully drawn. Below a, sets'of
three inlanders separated by dotted cross squares ; below b, a strip of key pattern.
(a) Athene seated, and a woman. On the 1., on a level considerably
above the ground-level of the scene, Athene is seated en face, leaning forward
with her r. elbow resting on her r. knee, and her chin resting on the bent fingers
of the hand ; in her 1. she holds upright a long spear, the butt of which rests on
the natural ground-level, far below her feet ; around the centre of the spear the
thong (dyKiiXr]) is twisted. There is no indication of her seat, except that her
aegis is spread for her to sit on ; she wears a chiton with studded sleeves, the
folds carefully drawn in fine relief lines, an himation, bracelets, and a Corinthian
helmet tilted back ; the two sides of the crest are both shown (cf. E 6y,
E 716), as also are the sides of the nose and the short bushy hair beside
each ear. The eyeholes of the helmet are filled with dotted rings, as if of
pupils. On the r. a woman stands in three-quarter face to the 1., looking at
Athene, supporting her chin on her r. hand exactly as Athene, but with the
r. elbow resting on the back of the 1. hand, which rests on her r. side ; she wears
a Doric chiton schistos, with bordered edge and apoptygma, and her hair is
looped up with a fillet (left red), wound thrice round it. Around her neck
is a necklace (?), indicated as a thin brown line with pendant attached (cf. the
necklace of Nike in E 287 and E 513). Her feet rest on the ordinary ground-
level of the scene ; the r. foot is disproportionately small.
[For the attitude of Athene, cf. Cat. Ashmolcan Vases, pi. 14 ; in Ann. delP Inst. 1879,
pi. D, she is seated on her a;gis ; in a reflective pose, in Gerhard, „i. V. ii, pi. 144.]
(b) A woman in sleeved chiton, himation, and saccos with dotted border,
standing to r. with outstretched r. hand.
E 317. NOLAN AMPHORA. Old No. 881. Ht. 12J in. Hamilton Coll. Drawing of a good
period, but movements ungainly and proportions of kitharist incorrect. Purple fillets ; eye
in profile, with eyelash. Patterns as preceding.
(a) Kitharist and Ephebos. On 1. on a square base a beardless kitharist,
with wavy hair falling on shoulder-, is seated playing on a chelys. In front
of him, an ephebos listening, leaning forward with 1. resting on staff against
body, r. on hip, 1. foot drawn back, resting on slightly raised ground ; he wears
a fillet with upright over forehead, the other wears a plain fillet; each wears
a bordered himation. The seated figure has sandals, badly drawn.
(b) Ephebos wearing mantle and fillet like the one in a, walking to r.,
extending r. hand in admiration.
