- Pottery: black-figured hydria. Designs in black on red panels, with borders of ivy down the sides and lotus and honeysuckle along the bottom; accessories of white and purple. 1. On the shoulder: Combat of warriors, perhaps Achilles and Memnon: In the centre, a warrior to left, fully armed, with two pellets on shield, beaten back on one knee by a similarly armed warrior, who also has a short embroidered chiton, and a Boeotian shield. On the right is another warrior coming up to the defence of the fallen one, with helmet, short embroidered chiton, sword, spear, and shield with the device of an eight-point star. Behind each of the two latter warriors is a female figure looking on and clapping her hands; each has long hair with a fillet, long embroidered chiton and striped himation. Behind them are beardless male figures, with fillets, and drapery over the lower part of their bodies, carrying spears. 2. On the body: Water-drawing at Callirrhoe: On the left is a building supported by a Doric column painted white, on the left side of which is a fountain with water pouring from a lion's head into a hydria placed on a step. In the field is inscribed: Καλ(λ)ιρ(ρό)η κρήνη. Outside stands a maiden to left; above her is inscribed: Σίμυλις. The next one stands to left holding a hydria on her head; behind her: Σίμυλις (as before); next to her is one to right holding a hydria on her head; in front of her: Έπηράτη. The next one, also to right, has a hydria on her head, in left hand a wreath; in front of her: Κυάνη. On the right are two more, to left, the first with an empty hydria carried horizontally on a pad on her head, to which she raises right hand; behind her is inscribed: Εύήνη. The other has a hydria on her head, and right hand raised; behind her is inscribed: Χορονίκη. All have long hair and fillets, long chitons and himatia, both embroidered, and hold branches, except the second, who has no himation, but a diapered chiton with diploldion; their faces have been much repainted. Above is inscribed : Ίπ(π)οκράτης καλός. --The British Museum, 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 8, British Museum 6, London, BMP, 1931
