Pottery: red-figured oinochoe (jug). Design red and white on a black panel, with details in purple; borders of egg-moulding above, chevrons down the sides, and wave-pattern along the bottom. Scene from a burlesque of the seizure of the Palladion: On the left is Odysseus moving to left, turned to the front, bearded, with hair streaming out on either side of his face; he wears a mask, white pilos, and chlamys on left arm; in his right hand is a drawn sword, and in left he carries the Palladion, a figure of Athene painted white, with high crested helmet, long close girt chiton, shield on left arm, right hand raised. He is followed by Diomedes, who has curly hair, and wears a mask with slight beard; at his back is slung a white petasos, and round his left leg is a white band; he holds out his left arm muffled in drapery. On either side is a laurel-branch; above, three white phialae, and a row of ivy-leaves. The ground-lines are indicated. --The British Museum, Trendall, A D; Cambitoglou, Alexander, The red-figured vases of Apulia, Volumes 1-2, Oxford, Clarendon press, 1978; Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893
Pottery: red-figured oinochoe with trefoil mouth. On the body: Apollo and Artemis. On the left Apollo stands holding in his left a chelys, his right resting on his hip; he is a youthful beardless figure with long wavy hair, of which a single tress falls on each shoulder; he wears a long sleeved chiton and himation. He is confronted by Artemis, who holds in her left a bow, and holds up her right hand as if addressing Apollo. She wears a long sleeved chiton, himation fastened on the left shoulder, a quiver, and a radiated stephane; her hair is passed at the end through a roll. On the foot an incised character. Late stage of strong severe style. Brown inner markings and upper folds of chiton; the hair over the forehead in rows of dots in thinned black. The lower folds of the chiton are arranged in regular groups of four each. Below, a strip of pairs of maeanders set alternate ways, separated by dotted cross squares; at the junction of the neck, a strip of egg 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
Pottery: red-figured oinochoe with trefoil mouth. On body: Nike flying to right towards an altar, holding in her right a thymiaterion, in her left a phiale mesomphalos. Her face, wings and body are en face; she wears an Ionic chiton, a himation over both shoulders, bracelets and a saccos; her hair falls in three wavy tresses on each shoulder; and around her neck is a necklace with cruciform pendant. The thymiaterion has a cover ornamented with rows of dots and zigzags. The altar is in the form of an Ionic capital with volutes supporting a curved rim; from behind (or out of ?) it springs a long shoot with tendrils, terminating in a flower. Later stage of severe style. Purple bracelets. Brown upper folds of chiton, hair over forehead, details of wings and thymiaterion, and necklace. Eyes (full face) of archaic type. Below, a strip of maeander; above, at junction of neck, of egg 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
