364 CATALOGUE OF VASES.
E 769-783. PYXIDES.
E 769. PYXIS. Ht. 3£in. Diam. 3 J in. Athens, 1813. Burgon Coll. Part of foot and knob
or loop of lid broken away, and the clay changed to a greyish colour. Style of Biygos.
Brown is used for details ; no other additional colour is now traceable. The lid is varnished
black, with a circle of net pattern near the edge. The design forms a frieze round the body,
between two thin red lines.
A woman at meal. The locality is indicated as the interior of a house, by
a fluted Ionic column on a plinth, and with an abacus which touches the upper
border ; from the 1. edge of this hangs a mantle (?) ; on the r. beside it hangs a
mirror. On the r. a woman in long sleeved chiton, mantle, shoes, and saccos, is
seated on a diphros ; before her is a table, on which is a cotyle and a loaf of
bread, towards which she bends forward and extends both hands. On the r. of
the table is a chair to 1. with a striped cushion ; then on r. a woman stands,
dressed as the last, holding out to 1. a large basket; the upper part of her
body is almost worn away. Next is a fragment missing which may have
contained one figure standing beside a loutron, of which part of the foot and
fluted shaft and r. edge are preserved ; beside it on r. a woman, dressed as
before, hastens away to r., looking back and extending an oinochoe to 1. in her
r. hand.
E 770. PYXIS. Ht. 2? in. Diam. 3j in. 1893. Said to have been found near Aidin (Tralles).
Hartwig in Classical Review, 1894, p. 419. Around the outer edge of the lid run three con-
centric raised mouldings, diminishing in size towards the centre ; within this is the design.
Drawing of a good period. Purple sword-belt and inscription.
The lid takes the form of a circular shield with device of a r. arm issuing
from the 1. as far as the shoulder ; the hand holds suspended a sword in its
scabbard. Below the elbow is inscribed ^^^^ , Mavpicov eTroie(i).
[Hartwig quotes a similar pyxis in Copenhagen, with device of a crater and signed as
this one, not TAVPIS, as given by Klein, Meistersig} p. 213.]
E 771. PYXIS. Ht. l£in. Diam. i\ in. Naucratis, 1888. Drawing, of good period, on the
