CATALOGUE OF LATE CORINTHIAN VASES II
in C.V.A. Oxford iii, i pi. 48, 18, which are decor-
ated with loose palmettes and are somewhat similar
in shape ;J on the other hand, with a curious group of
Rhodian vases, studied by Blinkenberg in A.M. 1911,
and there shown to belong to the late fifth century.2
The resemblance touches not only the shape, but
also the decoration, for the curiously primitive
speckled birds which are a favourite motive in the
Rhodian groups, recur on no. 1493. Of the same
fabric as the Corinthian pyxides is the exquisite
amphora no. 1553. Nearer to the ordinary Corin-
thian shape, and doubtless dating from the late sixth
1498 century, are the pyxides Cab. M£d. C.V.A. pi. 15,
1499 x6> I7> and n, 14 (floral as fig. 65B; there is an
1500 almost identical vase in Palermo) and Thebes, from
Rhitsona grave 126 (Ure, op. cit. pi. 12 no. 82);
the grave dates from the late sixth century. More
1500 a attractive than either of these is one in Leyden
(K.V.B. 14) which probably dates from the fifth
century: for the form of the buds, cf. no. 1491.

1501 British Museum 66.3.3.2,from Thebes. Fig.65D
1502 and pi. 35, 6 (Rayet-Collignon 68 fig. 35). Athens
1503 906 (C.C. 553). Floral as fig. 65 c. New York
06. 1021. 32. 4. Floral as fig. 65 e. The clay of
the first two (I have not
seen the third) is ochre-
coloured, and darker than
is usual in Corinthian vases;
but there are parallels for
this kind of clay at Corinth
(nos. 911, 1319, 1441, 2).
I have no doubt that these
vases are Corinthian be-
cause the shape, so far as
is known, is peculiar to
Corinth, and because the
floral garlands are exactly
in the late Corinthian man-
ner. The style of the heads
points to a late date in the
sixth century.
The series of pyxides with
plastic decoration ends
with a very curious vase:
1503 A Berlin 1664, from Attica. Fig. 174 bis. This vase
1 Beazley assigns the Oxford vase to the later fourth
century, but I think it might be earlier; in any case, it
will be later than the Corinthian vases, to which it bears
only a superficial resemblance.
2 There are many examples in the British Museum from
Fig. 174 bis. No. 1503 a.
was recognized by Furtwangler as late Corinthian;
the clay, the system of broad red and black bands on
the body, and the mere fact that this type of vase
appears to be confined to Corinth, indicate that this
attribution is right. The head which forms the
handle of the lid, though much too large, appears to
belong to the vase. The date is evidently not earlier
than the middle of the fifth century, but there is no
reason to place the vase very much later than this.
PYXIDES WITH CONCAVE SIDES (develop-
ment of early Corinthian form).
Oxford 1927. 4451. Fig. 175 a. The shape is 1504
undoubtedly influenced by an Attic type in which

the mouth and base are similarly reinforced.3 Dark
ochre-coloured clay (cf. nos. 1501-3). The style, and
the system of patterns, point to a connexion with
nos. 1508, 9; the date is probably about the middle
of the century. Berlin 1650, from Thebes. I5°5
Probably Corinthian, though classified by Furt-
wangler as Boeotian. On the body, lotus bud and
palmette chain; small moulding at base. Delos 1505A
(Dugas pi. 32, 508). Floral as fig. 66 c.
TRIPOD PYXIDES
I, tall vases, with very small supports : the final
form of the shape (contrast the type of the late
seventh century, no. 671).
Munich 334 (S.H. pi. 12). Fig. 175 b. Recognized 1506
by Hackl as late Corinthian. Bologna 78, from 1507
Sicyon (Pellegrini p. 12 fig. 14).
II, variant form in which the supports meet beneath
the bottom of the vase (a regular Attic type from the
later sixth century onwards).4 There are only two
Rhodes; another, from Rhodes (Pottier pl.i3,A33s); others
in the Berlin Museum (Jahrbuch 1886,153, found with late
red-figured), and in the University collection at Berlin.
