Tomb 102.—In excavating tomb 53, numerous fragments of Mycenaean vases were found, among which were parts of a large
Mycenaean crater, as from tomb 34. Subsequent shafts were sunk immediately adjoining, and in another tomb
(numbered 102) were found further fragments of the same vase. It is to be supposed that when both tombs
were plundered, the vase was broken on the surface and the fragments thrown indiscriminately into both tombs.

patterns; in each panel a figure of a woman. Fig. 127.
(2) Steatite intaglio of oval shape, with design of a bull lying down to right; very fine and delicate work and
masterly drawing, in the style of the Vaphio cups. Plate IV, Curium 4.
