H. 0.27, with the plaster restoration below 0.30. Bought in 1895 in

Seated, bearded man with his left hand resting on a stick
and clasping hands with a woman, presumably his wife,
standing before him. On the right a girl mourning, no doubt
their daughter. 4th cent. B. C.

225. (I. N. 1636). Tomb lekythos. M.
II. 1.62 with the parts restored in plaster: the foot and half of the
neck. Acquired in 1898 from Athens.
An elderly, bearded, himation-clad man is standing cross-
legged leaning on a staff which was only painted in, and
clasping hands with a sitting woman in chiton and himation,
presumably his wife. Behind her chair in the same dress
stands a girl, quite likely the daughter. The father’s name is
Antiphanes, the mother’s Oinamoe and the daughter’s Demo-
strata. 4th cent. B. C.
Billedtavler pl. XVI.
226. (I. N. 1778). Tomb lekythos. M.
H. 1.65 with the parts restored in plaster: foot and neck. The sur-
face in much worn, so that some inscriptions are illegible. The name
of the principal person, Euphemus, alone is certain. Acquired in 1900
from Athens.
The central figure is a young warrior in chiton, harness
with metal plates and a cloak; he is holding his sword by
the scabbard in his left hand, his right clasping that of his
father, behind whose back the mother stands in a mourning
pose with a corner of her himation raised to her cheek.
Behind the warrior stands the little armour-bearer wearing
an exomis and carrying his shield and helmet. This helmet
with the remarkably tall, curved crest was originally Persian
and is therefore to be seen again on the famous Alexander
sarcophagus in Constantinople, but familiar too from some
Attic gravestones (cf. Arndt-Amelung 695 seqq. and text of
