Pottery: red-figured stamnos. (a) Symposion with Cottabos (wine-throwing game). The two figures on the right are as in the following vase, but wear ivy-wreaths; and the ephebos holds in his left a kylix, and has his lips parted as if singing. Above him, ΚΑΛΟΣ. The third figure is a youth, also wreathed with ivy, who holds in his right, by one handle, a footless kylix, and turns to right to look at his companions; the left arm of this figure is drawn in bold foreshortening. Between him and the central figure the flute-player stands to right: her hair is looped up behind with a broad fillet, and she wears cross-straps (stethodesma) across her breasts. Above her head, ΚΑΛΕ. In front of each couch is a table, on which is a row of small purple dots, from which a vine-branch hangs down in front. On the left hangs a chelys. (b) Three draped ephebi. The central one stands en face, and looks to right at another, who places his right upon his shoulder. The one on left rests his right on a staff. Purple stem and berries of ivy wreath, inscriptions, fillets, tuning-pegs of lyre, and vine on tables. The lower band of ornament has red cross squares. --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

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
