FRAGMENTS OF CRATERS. 309
Brown edge of hair, and marks on shields and dress. Eye in profile. Above, round the lip,
egg pattern. On the r. part of the tongue-pattern encircling the handle is preserved, and
below it the petal of a palmetto ornament.
Two Thracians. On the r. a bearded man in Thracian dress, fox-skin cap (alopeke),
mantle with broad embattled patterns (zeira) and chiton, with crescent-formed shield (pclta
lunata) on 1. arm, holding a spear in his 1., is seated to 1., holding" up his r. hand ; his lips are
parted, and his head thrown back, as if he were singing (?). On the 1. a second Thracian
moves to r., looking back ; he is similarly dressed, and has a similar shield on his 1. arm ; in
his r. he holds two spears. Over the group is inscribed EVAHMOI^ Ev8rj/j,os, which may be
intended for either a koXos or an artist's name.
[Perhaps part of a scene representing Orpheus among the Thracians, cf. E 390. The two
shields, showing the one on r. the ext. view, the other the int. view, illustrate the construction of the
pelta ; the int. has patterns representing wicker-work ; over this a skin is stretched and bound
round the outer edge and drawn taut towards the centre of the hollow of the crescent.]
™ 5093, FRAGMENT of a crater. Ht. 6 in. by 11 in. Gameiros, 1864. Late stage of fine style.
Purple tree, inscriptions, cross-belt, reins, and teeth of boar. The inner markings of the boar's
tusk are in a lighter brown colour. The figure on the r. is in three-quarter back view, even to
the head. Above, laurel-wreath.
Hunt of the Calydonian Boar. In the centre, beside a tree, the boar charges with
uplifted head to 1. against two hunters in chlamys with petasos at back; the foremost has his
weapon (now lost) lowered to receive it; the other, on higher ground, thrusts his spear down-
ward into the boar ; his face is hidden by his r. arm, which is raised for the thrust. On the r.
a third hunter, with chlamys wrapped around his 1. arm, cross-belt, and uplifted spear, thrusts
downwards to r. at the boar. Beside him is inscribed his name, AIAVMOS, Ai'Su/xos (?). On
the r. appear the nose and foreleg of a horse galloping up, and the spear, probably of its rider.
On the 1. of the tree is inscribed V,., ,, perhaps a careless rendering of 17 irals KaXrj.

and the legs of both figures, are wanting. On the 1. is seen the hand of a figure (Ariadne ?)
holding out towards Theseus a circlet with vertical piece attached. On the r. of the Minotaur

youth who reclines on the same couch behind him, and who places his r. on his companion's
shoulder ; each has a mantle around the legs and a woollen fillet.
