ARYBALLI. 353
resting on a small plinth ; the chiton has been coloured pink, the mantle, wound
tightly round the figure, has been vermilion ; the face is mostly worn away.
Beside this, on r., Eros stands in three-quarter face to 1., with r. hand on his hip,
holding out in r. a beaded fillet; he wears a fillet, and looks towards a Nymph
who is seated on the 1., playing on a tympanon which she holds upright in her
1. hand ; she wears a long chiton, a mantle, and a saccos. The head of Eros
is on a level with the head of the seated woman ; that of the statuette is lower.
E 715. ARYBALLOS inform of head of Perseus. Ht. 4f in. Greece, 1869. Good period. The
back of the vase has a palmette with tendril patterns, red on black glaze.
The face is that of a beardless youth wearing a pointed hat or helmet
coloured red, with wings attached to it coloured blue ; from this hangs on each
side a flap (?) coloured blue ; round the neck is the edge of a chlamys, fastened
with a brooch. The hair is modelled and coloured yellow: the eyes have
been painted in a colour now faded ; the lips red, and the flesh white,
which has been polished to a surface like enamel.
E 716. ARYBALLOS in form of a bust of Athene. Present height 8 in. Athens, 1893. J.H.S.
xv. pi. 5, p. 184. The lip is wanting ; but the handle is preserved, and the part beneath it is
painted with a fine palmette pattern similar to E 696-699, with central dots gilt.
The bust is modelled in a large style, and rests on a black glazed plinth
immediately below the breasts ; the hair is in snaky locks modelled almost in
the round. A mantle, green with a pink border, passes over the shoulders and
the back of the head, and on this the helmet is placed tilted back ; it has the
crest (blue edged with red) running from side to side, and is decorated with
two rows of beads ; on the cheek-pieces are two rams' heads in relief confronted ;
the ffigis has the scales, snakes, and Gorgoneion (with protruding tongue)
modelled in relief; the necklace consists of two rows of beads and a row
of pendants. The flesh is coloured naturally, the lips red, the eyes a bluish
grey ; the hair, necklace, aegis, and markings of the helmet are all gilt; the
ground of the helmet is white.
[For the rams' heads, compare a bronze bust of Athene in the Brit. Mus. {Spec. Ant.
Sculpt, ii. 47).]
