ITALIC TOMB-GROUPS: NARCE 105F
notches on bulb; perforations in base irregularly shaped
and irregularly placed.
4. Bowl. Pl. XXV. M.S.889, H. 0.162 m., D.
0.208 m. Intact. Fabric and technique as in the fore-
going. The grooved rim and adjacent area on the
shoulder are left unpolished.
5. Biconical Urn. PL XXV. M.S.883, H. 0.307
m., D. 0.282 m. Intact, including both handles. Fab-
ric and technique as in the foregoing. The rim is cer-
tainly finished on the wheel. No ashes or traces of ashes
can be detected in this jar, although it was regarded by
the excavators as evidence of incineration in a trench-
tomb.
6. Stand. PL XXV. M.S.890, H. 0.13 m., D. 0.214
m. Intact. Fabric and technique as in the foregoing.
The edge of the base and interior of foot for a distance of
two centimeters show traces of the wheel. Three grooves
on upper surface of rim into each of which is impressed
rope pattern. Two string holes.
7. Stand. PL XXV. M.S.891, H. 0.104 m., D.
0.182 m. Edge of base restored. Fabric and technique
as in the foregoing, with edge of base finished on the
wheel. Good polish. Horizontal rim deeply and ir-
regularly grooved. One string hole.
8. Stand. PL XXV. M.S.892, H. 0.113 m., D.
0.184 m. Base damaged. Fabric and technique as in
the foregoing but the exterior, the interior of the foot for
a distance of 0.05 m. and the upper surface of the rim
covered with a cream slip. Handmade. Over the slip
red bands on the upper surface of the rim, and on the
exterior; inside the foot a red zigzag. The concave por-
tion of the upper surface is polished, and ornamented
toward the rim with eight triangular perforations and
toward the center with concentric grooves. Two string
holes.
9. Stand. Pl. XXV. M.S.888, H. 0.098 m., D.
0.18 m. Mended and rim restored. Surface abrasions.
Fabric as in the foregoing but buff at core. Completely
covered, even the interior of the foot, with white slip.
Handmade. On the outside of the foot are painted in
red four horizontal bands and two zones of zigzag; on the
outside of the bowl, sets of three parallel chevrons, moored
together by one or more diagonals. Three zones of zig-
zag decorate the upper surface of the grooved rim. Two
string holes.
10. Footed Bowl. Pl. XXV. M.S.887, H. 0.143
m., D. 0.218 m. Mended, rim restored. Fabric me-
dium fine texture, grey at core, outer surface black.
Handmade. Good polish. Two spool handles with
notched edges and two vertical perforations each.
Notched vertical ridges midway between handles.
11. Footed Bowl. Pl. XXV. M.S.886, FI. 0.168
m., D. 0.209 m. Intact. Fabric and technique as in the
foregoing but outer surface mottled maroon and brown.
Grooved rim, one upright handle with knob on either
side.
12. Skyphos. Pl. XXV. M.S.894, H. 0.069 m., D.
0.118 m. One handle and part of rim missing. Fabric
of fine texture completely reduced. Handmade. The
rim is offset, not from the shoulder, but from a horizontal
ledge which is itself offset. The horizontal handle is
small and shapely and placed on the shoulder. The
form seems to be a hybrid, influenced partly by skyphoi
of the shape of No. 8 from Vulci 22, Pl. XLVII.
13. Footed Cup. Pl. XXV. M.S.895, H. 0.072 m.,
D. 0.126 m. Intact. Fabric as in the foregoing.
Handmade. High handle with strut, circular depres-
sions in horns for the reception of bronze studs, and hori-
zontal striations on the face toward the bowl. Three
knobs on shoulder and eight shallow flutings on the floor
of the vase between the rim and concentric circular
grooves over the foot.
14. Similar Cup. Pl. XXV. M.S.896, H. 0.065 m.,
D. 0.015 m. Horns broken from handle, foot chipped.
Fabric as in the foregoing, but rim probably finished on
the wheel.
15. Gup. PL XXV. M.S.897, H. 0.085 m., D.
0.111 m. Intact. Fabric as in the foregoing. Hand-
made. Strap handle ornamented at the shoulder with
two concentric triangles of rope pattern, on the top and
at the rim with groups of horizontal lines of rope pattern.
Sharp angle at shoulder; above the shoulder six hori-
zontal grooves.
16. Similar Cup. Pl. XXV. M.S.898, H. 0.08 m.,
D. 0.098 m. Small restorations. Fabric and technique
as in the foregoing. Strap handle. No grooves.
17. Gup with Offset Rim. Pl. XXV. M.S.893, H.
0.095 m., D. 0.112 m. Strap handle missing. Restora-
tions. Fabric as in the foregoing. Handmade.
18. Cup. Pl. XXV. M.S.902, H. 0.041 m., D. 0.08
m. Intact. Fabric and technique as in the foregoing.
High angular handle with strut, three horizontal bands
of rope pattern at junction of rim and handle, and tri-
angular perforation with notched edges at junction of
shoulder and handle. Line of rope pattern above
shoulder.
19. Similar Gup. PL XXV. M.S.903, H. 0.037 m.,
D. 0.082 m. Most of handle and part of rim missing.
Fabric and technique as in the foregoing. Band of rope
pattern above shoulder.
20. Amphora. Pl. XXV. M.S.899, H. 0.074 m., D.
0.104 m. Base damaged. Fabric and technique as in
the foregoing. Strap handles each ornamented at the
narrower end near the rim with three circular depressions
with dot and circle motives, and at the broader end near
