II. 1.28, of the antique part 0.69, of the picture area up to the upper
edge of the inscription 0.305. The foot new in limestone, the neck in
plaster. The surface much weathered. Acquired in 1929 from Paris.
Found in Athens.
In the centre a sitting woman in chiton and himation
covering the shoulders and lap and falling in a broad fold
from the seat of the chair. She is clasping hands with a long-
bearded man standing before her in a himation and with
his upper part naked. Behind her back is another long-
bearded man leaning forward with folded arms on a stick
originally painted in, and wrapped in his himation. Above
his head the inscription: ΑΡΙΣΤΟΚΑΕΗΣ (Α(πςτοχλέης),
above the woman’s ΚΑΛΑΙΚΠ, probably Καλλιόχη; and
above the man on the left Αριστνλλος. The old man (the
father) is perhaps the same AriStocles who is mentioned as
president of a prytany in an inscription dated to a little
before 376 B. C. (Kirchner: Prosopographia Attica I p. 128
No. 1850).

H. 1.19, the antique part 0.71. The foot and most of the neck new
in marble. Bought in 1895 in Athens.
On the right a bearded man in a himation, his left hand
pressed to his side and his right clasping that of a woman
wearing chiton and himation and with a fillet in her hair.
Behind her is a bearded man in a himation who originally
rested both arms on a painted-in stick.
The picture area is sunken as if a painting were let into
the surface. This is the original arrangement of funerary
lekythoi and reveals their relationship with the painted lek-
ythoi of clay. Later the metal vessel with chased relief be-
