establishment. The drawing is remarkably angular,
much more so than in the Gorgoneion cups, and one
might think that it was earlier; but the boar, pi. 31,
2-4, has an almost exact parallel on the cup no. 991,
and the very free drawing of the fallen hunter, pi. 31,
3, would likewise seem to point to a relatively late
period (cf. the fallen warrior, pi. 33,5). Moreover the
inward curve of the lip, and the inner pattern on the
mouth, are both details which are characteristic of
the full sixth century. I think, therefore, that these
vases may be contemporary with the preceding,
despite their more archaic appearance.

cross, in reserve. At centre, gorgoneion. On handle-
back, female head. Not Protocorinthian, as D. sug-
gests, because (1) the female head is far later in style
than Protocorinthian heads; (2) the Gorgoneion
is likewise later (see pp. 79-84); (3) the wheel-like
f.o. occurs only on Corinthian vases;1 but, like nos.
803 ff., an excellent example of the development of
the Protocorinthian tradition in the Corinthian
period.

For others which may belong to this period, see
on no. 485.

II, shape B.

A. Seep.290,no.564andff. Some of these vases will be
middle Corinthian, but I cannot distinguish them
from the rest. The same is true of the early group D
(538 ff.), and of the vases decorated with patterns,
floral and linear. For late Corinthian aryballoi, see
p. 319. The quatrefoil aryballoi typical of the late
period begin in the early sixth century (see on no.
1263).
