CATALOGUE OF EARLY CORINTHIAN VASES
289
527 PI. 26, 6. A row of marching hoplites. Delos
(Dugas pi. 25, 307). Artemis with swans.
C. The Comast group.
Larger vases. Shape and patterns as before, but an
extra pattern above the frieze; tongues on bottom.
Broader, more decorative style, with free use of
white dots (unknown in the warrior group).
New York 6. 1021.17, from Corneto (Coll. Canessa
no. 13 pi. 1). Padded dancers. Corneto R.C. 1867,
and Carthage (Delattre, Nec. pun. de la Colline
St. Louis, 25 fig. 9), as last. Athens 314 (C.C. 499),
from the Ceramicus. Pis. 24,1; 25, 3. Corneto.
Row of hoplites (cf. 526); very fine, careful work.
Related (without extra pattern above frieze; plainer
style): British Museum 60.4.4. 22, from Camirus.
Mykonos 64. Syracuse, from Megara Hyblaea

Fig. 125. Aryballos of the 'lion group'.
The lion group. Shape B 2: type, fig. 125. The
principle of decoration and patterns clearly chosen
to contrast with those of the warrior group (very
small tongues on mouth and shoulder instead of
large; very small dots on rim; very little filling
ornament; design on front of vase only instead of
all round; handle-back always as in fig. 125, never as
in fig. 124). The technique generally fine, and the
surface well polished; clearly all produced in one
establishment, the same which produced the
aryballoi of shape A, nos. 482, 803-5. No. 551 was
found with a vase of the warrior group, so the two
groups are likely to be contemporary. The style
agrees well with this; apart from a liking for white
dots which are not found in the warrior group, the
drawing is fairly similar, so far as one can compare
it. But probably the lion-fabric lasted longer—into
the middle Corinthian period, for some of the floral
patterns are of late type and show minute corre-
spondences of detail with the kotylai of the Samos
group, dated c. 580 b.c.1
Louvre E 521, from Italy. Pis. 22,1 and 3; 26, 5. 538
By the painter of the oinochoai nos 746, 7 (pis. 24,
2 and 26, 7). London, Sth. Kensington 1910. 539
2498, from Camirus. PI. 26, 4 (Salzmann pi. 28, 3
(restored) = Zervos, Rhodes fig. 74). By the same
as the last. Louvre A 442 (octopus), 445 (ox- 540,1
head), Berlin 1078 (similar), Louvre A 449 (Pot- 542, 3
tier pi. 15; double-bodied panther-bird), ibid. 544
A 455 (boar), 456 (Pottier pi. 16; griffon), 462 545,6
(Pottier pi. 16; sirens)—all from Rhodes. Dresden 547
90. Cocks, snake. Florence, from Populonia (N.S. 548
1908,214, fig. 17). As last. Palermo, from Selinus 549
(Demeter Malophoros). Cocks, lizard. Ibid., same 550
source. Cocks, lotus as fig. 52 b; there are
several others at Palermo. Syracuse, from 551
predio Spagna, tomb 1 (N.S. 1925, 183 fig. 8).
Typhon; on the tomb see p. 57. Louvre 552
A 472, from Rhodes (Pottier pi. 16). Race to
tripod.
The following have florals only: Palermo, 553
from Selinus, cf. fig. 57 b. Delos (Dugas pi. 23, 554
217), cf. fig. 53B. British Museum 85. 12. 13. 555
32, from Rhodes (J.H.S. vi, 375; B.SA. 1907-8,
300, note 1), cf. fig. 57 c. Owner's inscription
(ASTVOS'IAAHMI) incised on rim. Found in the
same tomb as a red-figure hydria, but not certainly
from the same interment. If there was only one,
it is an interesting case of survival at a late period;
not, as might be thought, evidence for the chrono-
logy of this group. Against this 'tomb-group'we may
set that quoted above, in which no. 551 was found
(see p. 57), and which no one would undertake to
date later than 600 b.c. The fifth-century aryballos
is a very different object (see on nos. i486, 7).
Berlin 3045, somewhat as fig. 57 c. Louvre A 556
418 and 419, from Rhodes; cf. figs. 57b; 59a. 557,8
Berlin 1007 from Smyrna; replica from Carthage 559
(Delattre, Necrop. de Douimes, 5 fig. 9.) Louvre 560,
E 362-4, florals as figs. 53 b ; 57 c. 560 a-(
1 This applies to nos. 553, 5, 8, which are certainly middle
Corinthian. The vases have spreading floral ornaments,
with lateral lotuses of a kind which is not found before the
sixth century. On most of the vases with floral patterns
the palmettes end in small, nipple-like dots, precisely
as in the kotylai of the Samos group (no. 950 and ff.),
and such a correspondence in detail is not likely to be
fortuitous. The Samos group is dated beyond question
3575 P
to the end of the middle period. The aryballos no. 546 is
also late; contrast the floral ornament, with its elongated
central petals and dots at the end, as in those just men-
tioned, with that of no. 538 (fig. 52 b). Further there is one
large, flat-bottomed aryballos (type C: no. 850) which is
unquestionably a product of the same workshop as nos.
538-63 b. This vase has a floral ornament of the type
shown in fig. 53 c and is obviously middle Corinthian.
