5. (24046) Pitcher 



The lower attachment of the handle has the form of a palmette. 



Naples 69156. Pitchers of the type represented by this and the following specimen are com- 

 mon in Italian tombs of the fifth century B. C. See Gsell, Fouilles de Vulci, p. 518. 



6. (24047) Pitcher 



The ribbed handle has a leaf-shaped attachment below. 

 Naples 69154. See preceding note. 



7. (24098) ' Basin 



The deep bowl is united to a support in the form of a fluted ring with three 



claw feet. On the lip, an egg pattern. Each of the two fixed handles represents 



two elongated lions, with an upright floral ornament between them, while the 



attachments end in snakes' heads, broad and flat. 



Naples 73549. Mus. Barb. VI, lxii, 2. Although ascribed in the inventory of the Naples 

 Museum to Herculaneum, this basin appears on the evidence of style to be of the sixth century B. 

 C, and probably Greek. Cf. the archaic basin from Lucania, Not. d. Scavi, 1897, p. 164, Fig. 10. 



8. (24088) Basin 



Deep, almost hemispherical, bowl without base or feet. On the convex 

 rim, a tongue pattern, interrupted at four equidistant points by palmettes and 

 encircled by a bead pattern. If there were handles originally, they have dis- 

 appeared. 



Naples 73697. Fifth-fourth century B. C. 



9. (24093) Basin 



Shallow bowl without base or feet. Two plain handles, which play in 

 bobbin-like attachments. 



Naples 76583. Fifth-fourth century B. C. 



10. (24176) Corded Cista 



The cylindrical vessel has nine horizontal rings. There are three low 



cylindrical feet placed horizontally. The two bails are spirally grooved in 



imitation of ropes for the greater part of their length; they swing in loops 



formed by strips of bronze riveted to the vessel. 



Naples 68881. Fifth century B. C. Found near Nocera in Campania. Bullettino archeo- 

 logico napolitano, N. S., V (1857), PI. III. On vessels of this type, called in Italian ciste a cordoni, 

 see Mau in Pauly-Wissowa, Realencyclopadie, s. v. cista, and the authorities there cited. 



11. (24262) Small Pail 



The shoulder and the lower part of the body of the vessel have two similar 

 bands of ornaments, each consisting of two rows of leaf-shaped figures, the 

 points of the upper row directed downward, those of the lower row upward. 

 Between the two bands are two pairs of incised horizontal rings. The single 

 bail, made of stout wire, has a loop at the top. The attachments are in pal- 

 mette form. 



Naples 68871. This pail is probably identical with one figured in the Bullettino archeo- 

 logico napolitano, N. S., V (1857), PI. III. In that case it was found near Nocera in Campania. 



12. (24279) Pail 



Around the lip, egg pattern. Two plain bails, whose attachments terminate 

 in palmettes below. The three feet spool-shaped. 



Naples 68865. Mus. Borb. IV, xn, 2; Overbeck, Pompeii, Fig. 241, d; Mau-Kelsey, Pompeii, 

 Fig. 204, d. For the shape compare the more elaborate specimen in the British Museum (Cat-a 

 loRue of Bronzes, No. 650, p. 107).
