82 TONKS. — CHARACTERISTICS OF BRYGOS. 
No 6. The distinguishing feature of this vase is the "intense expression 
a 
o""-' o 
appearing in the faces of the extreme figures at the left and the right on th 
side A. 
Locality is designated by the tree on the exterior, side A, and the rock on side B. 
No. 7. A characteristic not found on the works of other artists, but belonging 
to solely Brygos, is the representation of the hetairae with short hair. Anoth 
Brygos peculiarity, not found on his signed vases, 1 is the use of dilute g 
shadows on columns. 
Seven figures show the stripe with dots on one edge, used as a border for gar- 
3 
ments ; the thrown-back head occurs ; 2 food-baskets hang on the wall ; a girl on the 
exterior is drawn with a youthful figure, and has blond hair ; there is a staff draped 
with a garment, and leaning against something ; and a column is introduced to locate 
the scene. A characteristic not found on other artists' works is the drawing of a 
female flute-player with one shoulder left bare, so that the breast is exposed 
No. 8. On this vase four out of the ten figures show the " intense expression." 
Four out of a possible eight have the garments ornamented with dots. Other character- 
istics occurring are the body tilted backward, and the use of details to show locality. 
Examples of the latter characteristic are a rabbit, aryballoi, javelins, implements hang- 
ing on the wall, and columns to designate a building. The narrow eye makes its 
appearance on one figure. 
No. 10. The figure of Selene in the interior picture of this kylix shows the "in- 
tense expression " ; and the use of the looped band about the ankles of warriors 
appears in both exterior pictures. 
The garments are dotted, and here we may see that these dots may be of two 
sorts : the first variety rather large, — either solid or circles ; the second evidently to 
imitate stitching. The 
parallel rows. Details are used to indicate 
locality. Thus, on the exterior appears a column ; while, more realistically, in the 
interior picture the moon and the waves are shown. The figure of Zeus shows the 
hair done in a series of egg-shaped rolls. The eyes of Athena and her opponent are 
narrow. 
No. 11. In the centre of side A stands a female, with short hair, blowing a flute. 
The short hair marks her as a type belonging to Brygos alone. Her hair is blond. 
No. 12. The fillet ornamented with bars, and ending in three-stringed tassels 
(characteristic No. 6, p. 80, of list of Brygos' characteristics)' mark this vase as a work
