Pottery: red-figured oinochoe with trefoil mouth. On the body and shoulder: Boreas seizing Oreithyia. Boreas, a winged bearded figure with long hair, wearing a sleeveless chitoniscos tied, and endromides with wings or flaps, rushes to left, seizing with both hands the left arm of Oreithyia, who flees, looking back and raising both hands with a gesture of alarm. She wears a woollen Ionic chiton, and a small himation fastened on the right shoulder, and her hair is looped up with a fillet (left red). On the left a Nymph (Herse?) flees, in a similar dress and attitude; her himation is fastened on the right shoulder, and her hair, confined with a fillet, falls down her back, with the ends fastened in a roll; she wears earrings. On the extreme right, Erechtheus, a bearded bald old man, is seated on a rock, closely muffled in an himation which conceals his mouth and the lower part of his head; he looks downward in an attitude of dejection, his right hand striking his forehead, his left resting on a crutch-staff. He wears a fillet, indicated by a thin black line. On the foot, incised characters. Severe style. Purple fillet of girl on left and surface of lip of the vase. Brown upper folds of the long chitons, markings of rock and of anatomy; also the ends of the hair and beard of Boreas. Eye of archaic type, with inner angle open. The lower folds of the chiton of Oreithyia are grouped in regular sets of six to eight; that of the girl on left has no folds shown. The hair and beard of the old man are indicated in outline only; those of Boreas are treated as a black mass, from which long brown strokes are drawn. Below, a thin red line; above, a strip of tongue pattern, and on each side a strip of net pattern. Around the lower part of the neck is a moulding, on which is a band of pairs of maeanders separated by red cross squares. --The British Museum, A Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases in the British Museum, London, William Nicol, 1851; Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893
