II, end of the middle Corinthian period (c. 58CH-
570 b.c.).
British Museum 73. 10. 12.1. Pis. 30,10; 35,7;
48, 12, 15 and figs. 20 f; 55 f. Swan, sphinxes,
sirens, griffon-birds, panthers, lions, cocks and floral
ornaments. Oxford 1892. 125. Pis. 28, 12; 48,
ii. Sirens, griffon-birds, swans, griffons, panther.
Distinctive style, with many dots in the field,
very close to the next three. Yonder Wrey-
land, Torr Coll., from Corinth. PI. 28, ii.
Heads of rather weak style; hard to judge, but
definitely three-dimensional. Very finely drawn
animals: griffons, sirens, panthers, goats, stags,
sphinxes, lions, eagles. British Museum, from
Macedonia (B.S.A. 1918/19, pi. 5). Griffons,
panthers, sirens, sphinxes; on shoulder, floral chain,
as in fig. 67 a. Brussels A 1035. PI.28,10 (C.V.A.
pi. 3, 2). The heads look earlier than the painting;
the surface is well preserved but they lack precision:
perhaps they were made from an old matrix. Paint-
ing very like that of the three last: galloping riders,
Boread, sphinxes, griffon-birds, lions, panther, siren.
Bonn 466. PI. 48,9. Heads of developed style; the
upper part of the body modelled. On the lid,
palmette chain (cf. no. 885). Among the animals
are a Boread, and a chimaera in the style of the
Chimaera plates (nos. 1040-3).

flat and early-looking. Body decorated with bands
and dots (cf. fig. 8 b). Perhaps early Corinthian.
Berlin 984, from Greece (Muller, Polos pi. 5).
Neck normal. One head left—and that of early style,
as in the last. Subgeometric figures: women holding
hands and branches; panthers and goats. Perhaps
early Corinthian.
I will mention here four pyxides with plastic heads
which I have not seen: one at Cracow (Beazley,
Greek Vases in Poland, 1), and three about which
Professor Beazley has given me information—two
of them at Lyons, and one at Marseilles. The last
is unusual in that the centre of the body is decorated
with a floral garland of the type shown in fig. 66 d,
below rows of tongues and double dots. It will
therefore belong to the end of the middle, or to the
late period. The vases in Lyons are probably of the
same period.
1 The shape seems to have disappeared since the geo-
metric period (cf. Johansen pi. 3, 1). It was copied by
Chalcidians (Rumpf pi. 68) and by Boeotians, but is
unknown in Athens till the fifth century.

STEMMED PYXIDES
WITH HANDLES.
Type fig. 143.
A development of the
previous shape apparently
peculiar to Corinth.2 The
earliest example is Berlin
990, from Corinth (detail,
Bossert, Ornament pi. 8,
1; Wilisch pi. 4, 40).
Panthers, sphinxes, sirens,
lions, floral. Double rays,
the upper row reserved.
By the Dodwell painter (cf. no. 861).
2 Unless indeed the vase Masner pi. 1, 35 (from the
Dipylon) is really Attic geometric, which I greatly doubt.
It looks more like very late Corinthian. I do not remember
seeing it in Vienna.
