Pottery: white-ground oinochoe. Late black figure style; design black on drab ground, with purple accessories and finely-incised lines. Trefoil mouth, and three-ribbed handle. On the neck, chequer-pattern; below, tongue-pattern, alternately black and outlined. Peleus bringing the infant Achilles to Cheiron: On the left is Cheiron to right, with a horse's body and hind-legs attached behind; he is bearded, with long tresses, striped himation over left shoulder, right hand extended, in left a pine-tree held over the shoulder. In front of him is a tree. On the right is Peleus advancing to left, bearded, with hair curly in front and striped himation, holding the infant Achilles in both arms, the latter also wearing a striped himation. Before them is a dog to right, with right hind-paw and head raised, as if greeting them. The handle terminates on each side of the mouth in a snake's head in relief, with black markings on red; at each junction of the handle with the vase is a female head in relief coloured red, of later date than the rest of the design. Under the handle is a palmette inverted, with tendrils ending in buds. --The British Museum, Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893
Pottery: White-ground lekythos. Thanatos (Death) and Hypnos (Sleep) (?) bringing dead warrior to tomb. The tomb is in the form of a plain stele on a double plinth, decorated with numerous taeniae, and surmounted by a double projecting moulding. About one quarter of the way down from the top is a band of egg pattern, above which is painted a helmet with long hanging crest to right, the eye-holes filled in with red. The body of the warrior is about to be laid, with feet to left, on the upper plinth it has a cuirass, and a mantle is rolled up over the arms; the head, which is beardless, is held by a youthful winged figure (Hypnos), who places his hand under the warrior's arms, resting the head against his breast. A bearded winged figure (Thanatos) bends forward, supporting with his left the thighs, with his right the lower part of the legs; the beard of this figure is shaggy and the hair straight; on his body are markings in red, as if of plumage. Drawing of good period. Brown outline throughout, except wings, which are in black outline; hair in black or brown strokes on brown wash; body of Hypnos, thinned red wash; taeniae and mantle of warrior red with black folds. Eye in profile. Usual patterns. --The British Museum, Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893
Pottery: White-ground lekythos. Sacrifice. On the right is an altar of rough outline, as if of hewn stone, from which flames arise. On the left stands a bearded, wreathed man (a priest ?) in an himation, leaning forward against a staff, and holding out in his right over the flames a phiale; in his left he holds a sprig of myrtle, probably for lustration (purification). Above hang a lock of hair and a wreath, probably votive. The vase has received a blow while the clay was soft, which has left a vertical indentation in the centre of the design. Early fine period. Drawing in black outline; hair and staff, black silhouette; dress, pink, with folds in brown. Eye in profile. Above, a strip, closed at each end, of maeander, with two white cross squares, on white. On shoulder, a pattern of five palmettes, black on red. --The British Museum, Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893
