90 TONES. — CHAKACTERISTICS OF BRYGOS. 
on side A. The position of the other leg is different ; but this easy attitude is the 
same in both cases. It appears as given in Fig. 30. 
No. 53. This vase, which is a fine example of the style of Brygos, shows the 
" intense expression " in every one of the four figures. As proof that the drawing of 
the eye is not the sole cause of it, but merely a contribution, it is to be noted that 
the female figure on side B shows this expression in spite of the fact that the upper 
part of the face is destroyed by a break. 
Other characteristics occurring are the stripe, with dots on one edge, used as a 
border for garments ; * the dotted ornamentation for garments ; 2 the drawing of the 
hair as blond ; 3 the introduction of details to show locality ; 4 the striped sceptre ; 5 
and the hair done in a single roll at the back of neck. 6 As variants it may be well 
to note that the body of Zeus in each picture is represented as hairy, and that the hair 
of the woman on side B is done in a knot low on the neck. 7 
No. 54. There is but one figure on this vase, and the face shows the " intense 
expression," peculiar to Brygos, arising from the delicately drawn nostril and the 
drooping corner of the mouth. The narrow eye also contributes to it. The motive of 
the spinning woman appeared on the vases numbered 29 and 31 of the appended 
list. 8 The use of the dotted stripe for a border, and the dotted ornamentation 
(here fine dots) make their appearance on this vase. 
No. 55. The appearance of the " intense expression," and the motive of the female 
flute-player standing before reclining men mark this as a vase by Brygos. The youth- 
ful wine-pourer, making his appearance as a nude boy, is also present. But in this 
case he does not hold a jug, kyathos, or strainer, but is busy with a large amphora 
which rests on the ground. 
Other motives occurring are the thrown-back head ; the food-baskets hanging on the 
wall ; the drawing of reclining figures with disproportionately long legs and arms ; 
the long slender lyre ; the draping of reclining figures to the waist with himatia ; 
and the introduction of details to show the place. The pillows are striped, but they 
do not hang over the edge, — for the reason that the figures recline on the ground.

» M f; Cecil Smith notes, in describing this vase (B. M. D 13), that » the type of face is very similar to that 
of Hera on vase No. 8 of our list of signed vases.
