- Description
- On left is a Neck-amphora, Vase E324, measuring at 33.655 cm in height and listed under Repository ID: 1867,0508.1059. Pottery: red-figured neck-amphora. On side A, a woman is depicted pouring a libation before the goddess Athena. At the left is a woman wearing a chiton; her hair is tied in a bun at the back with hair bands in added red. She is seen in profile to the right. In her raised right hand she holds a phiale and in her left an oinochoe. To the right stands the goddess Athena, who wears a diadem; her hair is gathered in a bun. She stands frontally but looks to the right, toward the woman. She is dressed in a chiton and a long, folded-over cloak, on top of which rests her snake-fringed aegis. In her right hand she holds a spear and in her left a crested Attic helmet. Both figures stand on a reserved base line decorated with three strips of meanders in alternating directions, separated by dotted crosses. On side B a single female figure stands facing right, wearing a chiton and a cloak. Her right arm is raised, and her hair is confined in a snood. She stands on a reserved base line decorated with a running meander. --The British Museum; On right is a Neck-amphora, Vase E323, measuring at 34.29 cm in height and listed under Repository ID: 1867,0508.1116. Pottery: red-figured neck-amphora. (a) Paris and Hermes on Mount Ida. Mount Ida is indicated on left by a series of wavy lines; Paris is seated on the top, a wreathed youth with wavy hair falling to his neck, and a mantle about his lower limbs and left arm, playing upon the chelys with a plectrum. On the right Hermes stands en face, but looking towards Paris; he is bearded, and has a short chiton, a chlamys fastened on the right shoulder, and a petasos hanging at his back; his left arm is concealed by his mantle; in his right hand, which hangs at his side, is a caduceus. (b) Draped ephebos resting right on staff, standing en face, looking to left. Fine style. Purple ground-lines, cord of petasos, pegs of lyre, and wreath; brown inner markings. Ends of hair in thinned black. Eye in developed profile type. Below a, sets of three maeanders alternately to right and left, separated by dotted cross squares; below b, a strip of key pattern. --The British Museum Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893; A Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases in the British Museum, London, William Nicol, 1851; Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum: Great Britain 7, British Museum 5, London, BMP, 1930
