chains round neck, and long chiton with upper garment, both ornamented with
bands and spots of black. On the front of the body are three large pellets on
an oblong panel1; the folds of the chiton are indicated by parallel incisions.
On the front part of the handle is a panel with two concentric lozenges ; round
the points are bands of black ; at the back, two panels of lines. Round the top
of the bowl is a band of tooth-pattern as H 259, and above the spout, two bands ;
inside the spout are two oval patches of paint. On the front of the bowl is a
panel with border of tooth-pattern each side, in which are a wavy line, a band of
tooth-pattern, and four patterns of cross-lines ; below, a continuous band of tooth-
pattern ; underneath, a broad ring enclosing two intersecting lines in a circle.

Type as the preceding, but better execution ; the handle-piece has three
spikes (one restored) and is pierced with three holes. Drab slip ; black and
dark red paint.
On the side opposite the spout is a human figure modelled in the round ;
the hair falls in a queue down the back, and the eyes and mouth are incised and
painted black. In the ears are red disc-shaped earrings from the centre of
which a curved bar hangs down on the shoulder, where it ends in a small disc ;
round the neck are two chains marked with red. The figure wears a long chiton,
and is wrapped in a mantle bordered with black and red stripes ; down the front
of the body is a row of raised discs as last, and four larger discs are attached
round the edge of the mantle at the back ; the chiton has borders of black and
red lines and other markings, and the folds are carefully but conventionally
indicated by deep parallel incisions. On both mantle and chiton are painted
crosses, chevrons, and other patterns in black and red, and on the discs in front
are red stars.
On the handle-piece are bands and vertical stripes of black and. red, and
down the handle similar stripes ; the spout is painted red inside. On the bowl,
opposite the handle, is a panel with three bands of pattern : (1) four panels, two
containing lozenges ; (2) six small birds back to back, alternately red and black,
with a band of red above ; (3) four patterns as H 259, alternately black and red.
Above the spout is a panel containing (1) two panels, with a lozenge in one,
(2) a band of red, (3) four oblique lines ; between the spout and handle, a panel
with vertical stripe of red. Below, two rings of black joined by cross-bars ;
underneath, pairs of intersecting lines in a circle, within a broad red band.
