Fig. 3. Height 1 f. 9 in. Old No. 148. New No. 199.
This sepulchral urn is rudely excavated, and probably con-
tained the ashes of the deceased ; the cover which once belonged
to it has not been discovered. The final parting scene is here
composed of four figures, the two central ones are females who
hold each other's hands, and may possibly have been sisters, each
accompanied by her husband, who stands behind her in a pensive,
melancholy attitude. The females are each clothed in the chiton
and pallium, one wearing this latter garment in the usual manner
of ordinary life, the end falling gracefully over the left arm;
the other has her left hand raised, as if about to draw the upper
part over her head in the form of a veil. The name of each
person is inscribed above the head.

Fig. 4. Height 1 f. 10 in. Old No. 163. New No. 263.
This sepulchral vase is solid, of a very elegant egg-shape, and
gracefully decorated with vertical grooves, and a horizontal band
ornamented with two double, spiral, interwoven fillets. The han-
dles also appear to have been sculptured, but they, as well as the
top, have been unfortunately broken off. Within the grooves
below the band is the inscription.
