sischen Akad. der Wiss.," 1878, taf. 2, 30. Of 

 the motive, as Brunn understands it, I have spoken

 p. 163. The inscription gives the name of the place. 



Page 55. From an engraving in " Schliemann's 

 Excavations," Schuchhardt, translated by Sellers, 

 p. 132. A fragment of a vase found in the exca- 

 vations at Tiryns, and perhaps of the ninth or 

 tenth century b. c. The animals and the men all 

 have a wooden look ; but in spite of the stiff legs, 

 flat belly, huge eyes, and flame-like mane of the 

 horse, yet the shape of the head and neck of 

 the horse show that even in this, the most archaic 

 of the pictures in this book, the artist had before 

 his mind the type of animal which we see in the 

 best art (see p. 90) . The lines above the horse's 

 back are not intended for reins, but are part of the 

 geometrical ornamentation. The men carry each 

 a shield and a spear, and probably wore the skin 

 of some animal of which the tail appears dangling 

 down below. The colouring of this vase is a 

 lustrous brown on a light yellow ground.
