TFfE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
7. Reddish clay, with bright red glaze. Panther, full front, and rear part of another animal.
Above, zigzag border. The zone is burnt bright red, the rim border black.
As in the case of some of the Argive fragments, the difference in color between the two parts of
the vase is strongly marked, and is no doubt intentional.
8. Bright yellow clay, with brilliant black glaze. Rooster to left. Red applied to the wattles,
wings and rosettes in field.
9 a and b. Two fragments from rim of skyphos. Yellow clay, with dark brown glaze. On
principal zone head of sphinx. Above, separated by a checkered border, zone of water birds to
right broken by a panel containing a star. Rod applied to wings of the bird.
These fragments show an upper zone which in its drawing is similar to that of the Oriental
Argive, without any ornaments in field. The lower zone is in the typical Corinthian style.
10. Yellow clay, with brilliant dark brown glaze and bright red decoration. Main zone occu-
pied by a very elaborate palmette-lotos chain in squares, with red color frequently applied. Below,
zone of water birds. It is probable that a similar zone formed the upper border. For palmette,
cf. Wilisch, op. cit. pi. iii. 35.
The fragments here given are paralleled by dozens of others of varying technical skill.
Some of the fragments showed the figures of the animals stretched out to an abnormal
length.
Oinochoai.
Two types were represented.
1. Tall-necked oinochoe (p. 127 ).
2. Corinthian type. Wilisch, op. cit. pi. ii. 18.
The first type was represented only by a few fragments in bad preservation. These
were entirely covered with a black glaze, except for the animal zone on the body, and had
on the shoulder an incised tongue pattern, red and yellow being applied to the alternate
divisions. Of Type 2 fragments of only one vase were found which permitted a fairly
satisfactory reconstruction, and several fragments of others. Curiously enough, no neck
belonging to these oinochoai was found, nor is it certain whether some fragments] did
not belong to another variety of oinochoe (Wilisch, op. cit. pi. ii. 16).
11 a-C. Three fragments of an oinochoe. Reddish clay. On base, rays, with three bands
(middle band black, the others applied in red, dividing lines in white) separating them from the
main zone. Panther to right (head full front) and goat to left. On b an owl, to right head full
front; on c, deer feeding to left and feet of a sphinx. Above, two applied red bands inclosing
toothed border. On shoulder, another zone, with lower part of a bird to right. Red is freely
applied to all the figures.
A few other unimportant fragments of this vase were found.
12. Dark yellow clay, with decoration varying from black to red. Ram's head to right, dotted
circles as ornaments in field. Good technique.
The other fragments were unimportant. They included an owl, panther, goat, etc.
Pyxides.
Very few fragments belonging to this form were found, but the covers were much
more numerous, showing the same discrepancy of proportion already mentioned in the
case of the Argive fragments (p. 136).
Two types were represented.
1. Pyxis with curving sides ( Berl. Cat. v. 103).
2. Pyxis with straight sides {Berl. Cat. v. 101).
1 Two fragments of yellow clay with an animal zone on the body and another on the shoulder were found, which,
judging from the curve, may have belonged to this form.
