92 TONKS. — CHARACTERISTICS OF BRYGOS. 
of the head. The strap that comes from underneath the head overlaps this first strap in the same 
manner on both vases. Furthermore, both horses have a foretop, and there is a tongue-pattern around 
the lip of both vases. The picture decoration of the St Petersburg vase, like that of the Boston 
rhyton, is on the bell mouth growing out of the horse's head. The subject is a symposium scene. 
A bearded man, holding a straw in his right hand, vomits into a basin which rests on the ground be- 
fore him, while a beardless youth (nude) kneels, playing a flute, and another nude youth dances, bal- 
ancing a skyphos on his foot. On both vases the handle and the horse's ears divide the picture into 
three sections. The kneeling youth has the narrow beady eye, and the delicate nostril. The eye of 
the other youth is not so markedly narrow. Behind the fluting boy is a leaning staff from which hangs 
a basket. There is a strong resemblance between the basin with its tripodic support and that on the 
i. d. Inst. VIII, pi. XXVII. However, until I may see the vase itself, or 
an accurate photograph of it, I hesitate to list it with the other vases by Brygos.

No. 62. The " intense expression " and the narrow beady eye of the girl of the 
interior picture mark this vase as a work by Brygos. 
On three other vases by Brygos (Nos. 16, 58, and 62) appear kettles with handles 
and bails similar to the one on this vase. 
No. 62. This vase is to be assigned to Brygos by means of the characteristic of 
the short hair. 
Other characteristics appearing on the vase are the beady eye, the fine nostril, 
and the somewhat adolescent appearance of the figure. It is interesting to note that 
the motive of the nude woman about to lay down her clothes appears on vase No. 39, 
and that the pail with the peculiar form of bail is found on vases 16, 58, and 61. A 
basin somewhat like that on this vase occurs on the rhyton illustrated in Fig. 30. 
By means of the ten characteristics " found on the works signed by Brygos, but on 
those of no other artist, and by the use of new Brygos peculiarities, discovered on 
some of the vases assembled, through the original ten means of identification, fifty-two 
vases have been added to the list of Brygos' works. It now remains to gather together 
into groups motives which, individually, not the sole property of our artist, bv 
frequent repetition as groups form as it were new characteristics. 
The motive of the figure shown with loosened hair appeared, as we have seen, on 
the vases numbered 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 of the signed vases, and on 18, 24, 33, 35, 43, 
and 48 of the unsigned vases ; the representation of the hair in a series of egg-shaped 
rolls appeared on vases numbered 10, 17, 43, 48, 56, and 57; the hair drawn as a 
single roll at the back of the neck occurred on vases numbered 1 and 53. The nar- 
row eye, mcludmg its occurrence on mature as well as youthful figures, manifested 
itself as a motive on thirty-five vases attributed to Brygos. The combination of the 
three motives of the loosened hair, the hair shown in a series of egg-shaped rolls, and
