1. Hermes
- Description
- Pottery: red-figured neck-amphora, with twisted handles. (a) Anacreon type. A bearded reveller walking to right, wreathed in ivy and playing on the chelys: his head hangs forward to left, with eyes upturned as if partly drunk. The nose is curiously squat and broad, like that of a bearded satyr. His mantle flies back with the motion; and he has a staff under his left shoulder. (b) Ephebos, wreathed, walking to right, holding in his right hand horizontally a crutch staff, and extending his left on a level with his shoulder, holding on the palm upright a kylix: a mantle, rolled up, flies back from both arms. Extremities carefully drawn. Purple wreaths, tuning pegs, and cord of plectrum. Elaborate brown inner markings: the beard and the edge of the hair in a are indicated throughout in carefully traced-brown lines, which are also used for the knuckles of the bent hand and nostril in b and the hair on the cheek. Eye in archaic type, with inner angle open. Edge of hair dotted: and a dotted rosette for the left breast. Below a, a strip, alternate maeander and dotted cross squares: below b, a strip of key pattern. --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
