78 ACCOUNTS, ETC., OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM. 



39. Two Geometric lids, conical shape with linear patterns, 

 and a lid of similar form in the Phaleron style, painted with a 

 frieze of goats. 



40. Cantharos in the Boeotian Geometric style. Very fine 

 thin fabric ; hemispherical body with high flat handles. On 

 one side are a man and three dogs hunting a boar or other 

 large quadruped ; on the other, two men with sword and spear, 

 in panels framed by zig-zags, etc. From Thebes. 



41. Lekythos, black-figure on white ground. The subject 

 represented is the capture of Seilenos at the fountain Inna for 

 Midas king of Phrygia. Seilenos is lying down, drinking the 

 wine from the fountain, which is built between two trees ; 

 on its roof kneels a man who carries a cord to bind Seilenos 

 when captured. On either side is a man holding a sceptre 

 and seated on a throne : one is distinguished by the name 

 Midas (MIAEZ) ; other inscriptions are illegible. From Sicily. 

 Presented by Edwin Barclay, Esq. 



42. Lekythos, black-figure on M^hite ground. The design 

 consists of a young warrior advancing with levelled spear. 

 The armour and drapery are drawn in outline, the face and 

 nude limbs in silhouette. From Thebes. 



43. Two Lekythoi painted in red and white on black with 

 outlines and details incised. 



i.— Eos bearing the body of Memnon. 



ii. — A msenad dancing, her sleeves extended like wings ; 

 over her chiton is tied a fawn-skin, and her hair is bound with 

 snakes. In front of her is a fox ; behind, a thyrsos. 



The flesh of the women and some details of dress and 

 ornament are painted white ; the body of Memnon, thyrsos 

 and fox are red ; the draperies are heavily incised. 



44. Alabastron, black outline drawing on white ground : 

 a girl, draped in a long chiton, playing the flutes ; a youth, 

 with chlamys on extended left arm, throwing an oil-bottle 

 (aryhallos). Between them on one side is a flute-case ; on 

 the other, the legend O FIAIZ KAAOZ. The two may be 

 supposed to be excerpted from a larger group representing 

 a revel. The drawing is somewhat in the style of Euphronios 

 (compare Hartwig, Meisterschalen, plate XLIX. ). 



45. Pelike, late Attic red-figure style. The obverse subject 

 is a musical contest between two flute-players, who are clad 

 in long embroidered robes; one stands on a platform of two 

 steps, the other has his foot on the lower plinth as if in the 

 act of ascending. A Victory flies towards the group from 

 either side, one carrying two bowls, the other a long white 

 fillet. In the field are inscriptions, KAAOS, KAAH. On the 

 reverse, three draped youths. 



46. Oinochoe, red-figure with white paint. Two Victories, 

 drawn in white colour, fly towards a tripod with fillets in their
