ITALIC TOMB-GROUPS: VULGI 42F
Fairbanks, pp. 159 and 160, PI. XLIII, No. 438; and
Sieveking-Hackl, p. 87, and PL 30, Nos. 786 and 787.
Cf. also CLR. VI and VII, p. 52, Fig. 49.
3 and 4. The shape is that of a smaller jar from
Grave 99, Thera, AM 1903, p. 80, No. 2 and Beilage
XXXVI, 5, assigned by Pfuhl, id., p. 203, to the Late
Protocorinthian period.
5. Cf. a vase from Tomb L, Arkades, An. X-XII, p.
357, Fig. 467, and Protoattic vases from the Kerameikos,
AJA. 1936, p. 149, Fig. 9.
7. Cf. two vases from Tarquinii, the one from a well-
tomb, the “Tomb of the 23rd of January,” Montelius,
PI. 281, 10, the other from a trench-tomb, id., PI. 291, 10.
9. Cf. No. 6 from Narce 71 M, PI. VII, but the latter
has no foot and there are some variations in the distribu-
tion of the impressed rope ornament.
11. Cf. Nos. 5 and 7, from Narce 71 M, PI. VII, and
the comparanda cited under these numbers.
12. Cf. No. 8 from Narce 71 M, PI. VII, and the
comparanda cited under this number.
15. Cf. No. 13 from Vulci 25, PL XLIII, and No. 12
from Vulci 66, PI. XLV.
16-20. Two bowls of this type were found in Trench-
tomb No. XVI, Pitigliano, Jdl. 1900, p. 169, 19 and p.
159, Fig. 4, 1, a tomb which contained three large jars,
analogous to Nos. 1, 2, and 4, from Vulci 22, PI. XLVII,
but no Early Corinthian pottery; and another pair in
Trench-tomb No. XXV, id., p. 173, Nos. 19 and 20, on
one of which were noted traces of a white slip. Here
again, Early Corinthian pottery was lacking. Cf. also
an example from Tomb 25, near Volterra, StEtr. IV, p.
21, Fig. 3, tomb-fellow of a “punta di lancia inferro afoglia
assai allungata, provista di codolo fornito ai lati di due orec-
chiette,'‘—(a spit?), and a serpentine fibula with tubular
cross piece. Two bucchero vases of this shape were
found in a cremation burial at Cetona, MonAnt. IX, col.
162, Fig. 24 and col. 163, f. In our Museum is a simi-
larly shaped cup of unknown provenance, M.S.1712,
purchased by Frothingham. It is made on the wheel of
fine red clay covered on the inside with a cream slip
except for a pattern of reserved triangles—degenerating
for a large part of their course to mere blobs—on the
upper surface of the lip. The decoration on the outside
is cream against the red of the clay, two zones of short
diagonals on the shoulder and below the shoulder a zone
of hatched triangles, their apices pointing downwards
which leaves a reserved ray pattern above the foot. The
effect is precisely that of the latticed triangles which are
suspended from the rim of a lydion from Grave XVI,
Pitigliano, jy/. 1900, p. 167, No. 11a and Fig. 9. These
vases of light buff clay may well imitate silver vases such
as Montelius, PI. 339, 4 from the Regolini-Galassi Tomb;
Nos. 19 and 20 may well imitate inlaid silver bowls.
21. The decorative scheme is common; cf., e.g., Nos.
1, 3 and 4, from Narce 23 M, PI. XXI, etc.
22. Cf. Nos. 17 and 18 from Narce 27 M, PI. XIV,
and the comparanda cited under these numbers.
23. For the syntax of the design of this belt, see pp.
8, 9, 10. Cf. MonAnt. IV, PI. X, 27, col. 412,18, from
Barnabei’s Tomb XXIV, a trench-tomb, Narce; a belt
from the Tomb of the 8th of March, Tarquinii, Monlned.
XI, PI. LIX, 5 and NS. 1885, p. 447, No. 8, in marginal
perforations of which are preserved threads for sewing
to a backing, probably of leather. A somewhat similar
belt comes from a trench-tomb at Cumae, the grave-
fellow of the Protocorinthian oinochoe, MonAnt. XXII,
col. 254, Fig. 92, id., PI. XXXII, 2. For narrow belts
from Olympia, see Olympia, IV, PL XIX, Nos. 310-313;
for Hallstatt examples, Hagemann, p. 107, Fig. 99,
Dechelette, 2, pp. 856—860, who reports having counted
34 of these belts in the Nessel collection at Haguenau.
With the spidery men which appear on this belt cf. the
design on a vase from the Quirinal, Rome, BPI. 1908,
p. 103, Fig. C; on a stand in the British Museum, CVA.
Brit. Mus. 7, IVBa, PL 2, 1; on a hut urn from Tar-
quinii, Montelius, Pl. 275, 11; on vases from Norba,
NS. 1904, pp. 416 and 417, Figs. 5b and 6c; on a vase
from Cumae, MonAnt. XXII, Pl. XII, 1 and col. 83; on
an unpublished scaraboid of amber from Caere in the
Villa Giulia. It may well be that such figures of men
were thought to have apotropaic value.
24. Many examples of girdle plates from Italy are
published by Pigorini, BPI. 1908, pp. 104-115, Figs.
D-O, and others in Hagemann, p. 97, footnote 2, to
which add No. 54.104 in the Walters Art Gallery,
Baltimore. They have also been found on Euboea, ibid.
and Daremberg and Saglio, s.v. cingulum, Fig. 1480, and
Helbig, Homerische Epos, pp. 199-201 and Figs. 67-69,
and at Olympia, Olympia IV, PL XIX, 317. For their
use, see Hagemann, pp. 97 and 98.
25. Both the (hog maned?) horses with long tails and
the other decoration on this girdle plate are like the
horses and other ornament on a shield from Veii, Archaeo-
logia XLI, p. 199, and another from Praeneste, id., Pl. IX
(= Montelius, PL 365, 8 and Monlned. VIII, PL XXVI,
5). Thanks to the lists recorded by Schone, Adi. 1866,
pp. 188 and 189, and Garucci, Archaeologia, XLI, 1867,
pp. 203 and 204, and supplemented by Pinza, MonAnt.
XV, col. 563, footnote, we have a fairly complete pic-
ture of the contents of the tomb in which the Praeneste
shield was found. The silver bowl, Montelius, PL 365,
14, is the counterpart of the bowl from the Bernardini
Tomb, MAAR. Ill, Pl. 29, 1; and of the bowl from the
Regolini-Galassi Tomb, Montelius, Pl. 339, 3; the mane
of the ivory lion, Montelius, 365, 7 resembles closely
