Pottery: red-figured stamnos. (a) Departure of a warrior. In the centre a bearded warrior stands en face, with helmet, short chiton, ornamented cuirass, and greaves, sword at waist, shield on arm, and holding a spear upright in left hand; his cuirass is decorated with a star on each shoulder-piece, and a band of key pattern; the strings are fastened upon a stud in the centre of this band, which is formed like an eight-spoked wheel, with dots between the spokes. He looks to left, grasping the hand of a bearded man, in long chiton and mantle, who holds upright in his left hand a staff. On the right, a woman, with bordered Doric chiton with apoptygma undertied, and hair looped up with fillet, stands with a phiale in her left, and an oinochoe hanging at her side in her right hand. Behind the warrior a hound stands in the background to left: around its neck is a collar with bead (?) attached. (b) Similar scene. In the centre, a beardless warrior as in (a), but with his body mostly hidden by his shield (device, a Pegasos springing to left), with helmet tilted back and with a mantle over his arms, stands en face, holding out to left a phiale to be filled from the oinochoe of a woman with Doric chiton schistos, and hair looped up with radiated fillet. On the right stands a bearded man, as in a. Large style. Purple fillets, brown inner markings and edge of hair. Eye in profile. Below, pairs of maeanders separated by dotted cross squares. Above, tongue pattern; round lip, egg pattern. Below and above handles, a pattern of four palmettes. The helmet in both cases overlaps the border. --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; Walters, H B, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum: Great Britain 4, British Museum 3, London, BMP, 1927
