179. (24077) Jug 



Expansive body and small neck. The spool-shaped contrivance on the 

 handle, just above the lip of the vessel, was probably the hinge of a cover, now 

 missing. Thumb-rest at the highest part of the handle.

The vessel is ornamented with incised horizontal rings, arranged in pairs. 

 Attached by a chain to the handle is a cover, which fits over the circular mouth 

 of the vessel. The flat, ribbed handle bends at an acute angle at the top and has 

 two arm-like projections attached to the neck of the vessel and a three-pointed 

 lower attachment. At the top of the handle is a human head.

181. (24048) Pouch-shaped Pitcher 



On the lip are bead and egg patterns. The upper attachment of the handle 

 takes the form of a figure of Scylla, ending in acanthus leaves below the waist 

 and with dogs springing from her sides. On the curved back of the handle is 

 a long leaf. The lower attachment is in the form of a mask (maenad?), ivy- 

 crowned, with volutes at the sides and a palmette below.

182. (24056) Pouch-shaped Pitcher 



On the lip, bead and egg patterns; on the body, a guilloche, connecting 

 with the two ridges which run downward from the handle. On the highest 

 part of the handle is a parrot, serving as a thumb-rest. Lower down are two 

 projections in the form of bent strips of metal. The lower attachment has 

 a relief representing Cupid riding on a dolphin.

183. (24054) Pouch-shaped Pitcher 



On the lip, bead and egg patterns. The upper attachment of the handle 

 ends in birds' heads; the lower has the form of a g**p«-leaf with volutes — 

 evidently a variation on the traditional palmette. On the back of the handle 

 are leaves bound together' by a ribbon.
