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

Young warrior with long hair, short chiton with studded sleeves, mantle at back over arms, decorated with crosses, crestless helmet tilted back, cuirass, greaves, sword with twisted snake round scabbard hanging from a cross-belt, stands en face, looking to right, with shield on left arm, left hand holding spear upright, right holding out phiale to left towards (b) A woman in undertied chiton with apoptygma, with long hair fastened at ends in a club, radiated stephane, earrings, moves to right with oinochoe (silhouette against body), and raising the left edge of her dress from her shoulder, towards an altar in form of Ionic capital with volutes and necking of acanthus, on which is placed a high thymiaterion with wire cap, forming an acorn-shaped head (καλύπτρα), probably perforated. Brown inner markings, upper folds of chiton, edge of hair, and hair on cheek: also toe-nails of the foot en face. Eye archaic. Below, a strip of pattern, alternate dotted cross and maeander. --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

- Description
- Pottery: black-figured neck-amphora. On the neck the usual double palmette pattern, but on a white ground. (a) On the shoulder: Lion to right and goat confronted, twice. On the body, Peleus seizing Thetis: Peleus to right, bearded, with short embroidered chiton, seizes Thetis round waist with left hand, and with right grasps her clothing. Thetis moves to right looking to left, with long hair, laurel-wreath, long embroidered chiton, and himation, right arm round Peleus' body; two of her transformations are indicated by the lion's head issuing from her left shoulder with open jaws and flowing mane, and by the panther which has leapt upon Peleus from behind, with its forepaws on his shoulder. On the right is a Siren to left; on the left, a similar figure to right, with a bearded male head, and flesh painted white (an almost unique exception to the usual rule); both have long hair wreathed with myrtle, and their bodies are formed by large eyes, with black pupils surrounded by purple and white rings, and black outlines, the ground being left red (b) On the shoulder, lion to right confronting goat, twice. On the body, Apollo Citharoedos to right; he is beardless, with long hair, tresses in front of ears, fillet, long chiton and embroidered himation, and holds the plectrum in right hand; from his chelys hangs drapery. By his side is a hind to right; on either side bird-figures with human heads and bodies formed by eyes, as on (a). Under the handles: (i) Hermes moving to right, looking back; he is bearded, with hair looped up under a fillet, short chiton, embroidered chlamys, petasos, endromides, and caduceus; in his right hand he also holds ivy-branches; (2) Artemis moving to left looking back, with long tresses, mitra, long chiton and himation, both embroidered, and bow raised in left hand; in the field, ivy-branches. Below, frieze of animals: Panther to right confronting goat, twice repeated; lion and panther confronted, between them a goat to left. --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 5, British Museum 4, London, BMP, 1929
