The bod}' curves inwards below the shoulder. On the shoulder is a
conventional lily with volute-petals and exaggerated cross-barred stamens
between two pairs of handles, and between the third pair are two similar
flowers. Below the flowers are double waved lines which may represent leaves
or the contour of the ground, and in the field are groups of short hatched lines.
On the lip are groups of radiating strokes ; on the body, a group of three broad
bands between foot and shoulder.

shoulders wanting.
Shape as last, with strongly contracted body
and red varnish. On the wide shoulder are
three figures composed of long loops ending
in spiral coils, with hatched triangular filling, a
stalked flower and a dotted rosette in the field
of each. The spiral figures are evidently
derived from an argonaut. (Fig. 195.) Two
groups of three bands between foot and
shoulder.

THREE-HANDLED JAR. Diam. 13I in. Presented, 1872. Foot and parts of.
shoulder wanting.
Shape as A 829 ; brown clay and brown-black varnish. The shoulder-band,
which is wider than the handles, as in the preceding
examples, is filled with angular flowers on stalks
irregularly scattered, some in bending or lying posi-
tions as if caught in the wind. In the field are knobs
with rings of dots at base. On the lip are groups of
chevrons. (Fig. 196.)

Shape as last ; wide flat foot. The shoulder-
band is no wider than the handles. Between each
pair of handles are three upright angular flowers on
long stems, stalk and calix being composed of four
