is from a photograph procured for me from H. G. G. Payne through the kind offices of
my old pupil Mr E. J. P. Raven. The lid shows a nude male figure advancing to the
right with a triple lightning-fork in his right hand, a bird on his left. Before him is a
tripod, on which is another bird with a third on a stone beside it. Beneath the tripod a
human head rises from the ground (Pas central support of the tripod: supra ii. 193).
Marinatos comments: 'Es handelt sich wohl um eine mythologische Szene.' But it is
possible that the ' tripod' was meant for an altar, and that the head seen on the face of it
marks it as the altar of the advancing god. The interpretation is very uncertain.
A bronze statuette (height o'i65m: bright green patina), found near Epidauros (?),
later in the Tyskiewicz and Dutuit collections, and now in the Petit Palais at Paris,
represents a nude bearded male figure advancing to the right with his right arm raised
