METAL-WORK FOLIATION IMITATED
In the case of a series of pedestalled goblets, to be more fully described
in a Supplement to the present Section, we have the actual evidence of proto-
types in precious metals. The fine foliated bands chased on the splendid
Redupli-
cated
edges of
foliation.

bronze basins belonging to the preceding Age from the North-West Treasury
Building, with their reduplicated edges,1 are closely imitated on 'amphoras'
and other vessels. Part of a shoulder of an ' amphora' from the ' Royal
Tomb' at Isopata is here reproduced in Fig. 233, while a section of
a bronze basin from the North-West Treasury is shown in Fig- 232.
These reduplicated edges of foliation are repeated to a still further extent
on the ' Stirrup Vase', Fig. 234 from Tomb 68 of Zafer Papoura.2
The literal reproduction of details of metal technique in these and
other cases is sufficient proof that the fabric of the ' Palace Style' vases on
which they occur had been executed at a time when their models in bronze
or precious metals were still in vogue. Since such fine works as the bronze
