Plate CXXXIII.
All of red ware except perhaps No. 983, which shows reddish brown on the (now rather
old) fractured surface.
980. Height, 11 y2 inches. Found at Curium.
Pitcher-like vase, with ellipsoidal body; handle furrowed on back; nearly cylindrical
neck; very short foot. Opposite the handle, a horse's head (not a spout), with short ears and
plaited forelock. Decorated with horizontal bands, concentric-circle and geometrical patterns.
Neck and foot broken.
981. Height, 15^ inches. Found at Curium.
Fine pitcher-shaped vase; oval body; long neck; furrowed handle ; foot; the spout a
small cenochoe held by a female figure seated on the shoulder of the vase, directly opposite the
handle. Ground coloring of vase, dark brown ; decoration in white, with a little yellow and red,
and a row of white dots under the lip ; quatre-foils on the neck ; about shoulder zone, vine (ivy ?)
with large cordate lanceolate leaves and yellow pedicelled berries ; below, bands of circles and
dots, the latter sometimes in groups of three; below the middle, a zone with lanceolate leaves
and double rows of dots, that make an angle between each two leaves. The woman with tiara
and white peplos ; ear-rings ; an over-dress with patterns of circles and four-rayed stars ; and
border of yellow and blue lines at bottom. CEnochoe nozzle decorated with geometrical patterns
in white, brown, red, and yellow.
982. Fine red ware. Height, 7^ inches. Found at Curium.
CEnochoe ; body a vertical ring, within which is a disk pierced at the centre. On each
side of this disk there was fitted in a silver piece like the shieve or wheel of a pulley, its sides
graven or incised with concentric circles ; which probably served as pivot supporters, or thick
washers ; the cenochoe probably being like our modern tilting pitcher. (The silver pieces are
preserved among the silver of the Cesnola collection.)
