style. Purple is used for ground-lines, waves, wreaths, rays of Eos, leaves of tree. Brown
inner markings and a brown wash for wings and mane of horses, body of chariot, and disc of

Eos is curiously drawn, as if beneath transparent drapery. Below each side, sets of three
ma;anders separated by chequer squares. Round the lip, laurel-wreath. The design runs in a
continuous band round the body of the vase and above each handle. The scene in a is laid on
a rocky mountain side, sloping down in b to the waves of the sea.

matronly figure in long chiton, necklace, and mantle passed over her head,
riding side-saddle a horse, whose legs are already out of sight, to the 1. Below
her gallops up the mountain-side a large hound, who seems to be baying the
moon ; this is the hound of Kephalos, a wreathed youth equipped as a hunter
(chlamys, petasos at back, two spears in 1. hand), who, as he moves to 1., turns
to menace with a stone Eos, as she extends her r. to seize him. She moves
rapidly after him, her powerful wings extended behind, wearing a long chiton, a
