TONKS. — CHARACTERISTICS OF BRYGOS. 
5. The head is often thrown far hack. This is given by Hartwig as a favorite mo- 
tive of our artist, and is il lustra ted Jdv him in his Meisterschalen, pi. XXXIII (Fig. 13). 
This feature occurs on three of the signed- vases, namely, those shown in the Vorlegehl 
VIII, 3, 4, and 5. Duris, however, uses it (Meisterschalen, pi. XIX, interior picture), as 
well as Euphronios (id. pis. XLIV, 1, and XI), the " Master with the Bald Head " (id. 
pi. XLIII, A), and the " Master with the Twig " (id. pi. LXXIII, A). Among th 
artists of the earlier period Epiktetos makes use of it (Designs from Greek Vases, pi. 
22 
VI, 
6. The body is often tilted backward. It is to be associated, says Hartwig, with the 
thrown-back head. This motive occurs twice on the vase given in the Wiener Vor- 
legehl. VIII, 6, and five times on that shown on id. VIII, 5, but it appears on none of the 
other signed vases. Hartwig is correct in noting that Hieron uses it, as will be seen 
i 
from pi. XXIX of the Meisterschalen. But it is to be found as well on a vase by the 
"Master with the Bald Head " (id. pi. XLIII), on one by Euphronios (id. pi. XL VII), 
on one by Oltos (Meisterschalen, pi. VI, B), on two by Onesimos (id. pis. LVII, B, and 
LX), and on one by the " Master with the Twig " (id. pi LXXIII). 
7. The ears of the satyrs occur in various positions. As we have already seen, only 
one of the signed vases has a satyr picture, and on this there is hardly any difference 
in the positions of the various ears. This motive does occur, however, on a vase by 
Duris (Meisterschalen, pi. XXIII), where the greatest variety is introduced. The 
"Master with the Twig" (id. pis. LXXIII and LXXIV, the Boston kylix) also uses 
this motive. In the last mentioned vase the artist has gone even to the extent of 
bending the ears so that they hang like the flapping ears of a dog. The appearance of 
these ears is somewhat like Fig. 14 
8. Maenads dancing with their arms covered by sleeves in imitation of wings. This mo- 
tive, asserts Hartwig, is common with Brygos. It occurs, as a fact, on none of his 
signed works. It appears twice on a vase, illustrated on pi. XXXII of the Meister- 
schalen, which, though unsigned, undoubtedly belongs to Brygos. The " Master with 
the Bald Head" has this feature five times on a vase given by Hartwig on pi. XLIII 
of his Meisterschalen. 
9. The thyrsoi have dots about the heads. This distinguishes them, says Hartwig 
from those of Hieron. No thyrsoi occur on the signed vases of Brygos. If we tad 
such dotted thyrsoi on Brygos' works, they could well serve as a means of identifica- 
tion, for they do not appear on the vases of any other artists. 
10. An intense expression in the face. This is quite the opposite of the expression
