E 352. PELIKE. Ht. ll£ in. Cameiros, 1864. Tomb F 168. Lip partly broken away.

Careless drawing of good period. Brown inner markings. Eye in archaic type, with inner
angle open. The hair in a is unusually rendered. The ankle-bones of the man on r. in a are
drawn like the archaic form of eye. Below each design, a thin purple line ; above and on
either side, a strip of net pattern ; the whole forming a panel.

(a) Two bearded men leaning on staves, conversing, and a mourning
woman (?). The woman is seated to r. between them on a seat of irregular
form, which is decorated with a horizontal band of dots. She is closely draped
in a long chiton and mantle covering both arms, and leans forward in a dejected
attitude ; -her hair is looped up and confined with a fillet. Each of the men
wears a mantle from the waist downwards, covering the 1. shoulder ; the one on
the 1. raises his r. hand.

(b) Two draped ephebi confronted ; between them, a tall column (?) or
door of a house, decorated above with two rows of dots. On the bottom of the
foot, engraved characters, $/E.

profile. Below, a continuous purple line. Above, egg pattern ; at sides, a double row of dots ;

strigil.

surface of b much worn. Drawing careless. Purple inscription, notes of music, and ends of
taenia. Brown markings of dog. Eye in simple profile type, with eyelash. Below each side,
a red band ; above, a strip of laurel wreath ; on each side, net pattern ; the whole forming
a panel.

(a) Victors in avXa&ia (?). On a bema of two steps, with a Doric column
between them, stand two figures wreathed with olive. The one on 1., a bearded
man wearing himation, plays on the flutes, and is inscribed KAVH, xaXij; on the
other side of the column, confronting him, is a youth of shorter stature, whose
mantle covers both arms, and whose head is thrown back, as if he were singing;
from his mouth proceed three circular marks, 0 ° as if notes of music. Above
his head, KAVOJ, koXos;. On the r., standing on the ground, a judge (?), also
wreathed, holding in r. a long staff or wand. All three figures wear mantles.

[Cf. for similar indication of the human voice, E 171.]
