 and for the delicacy and refinement of the modelling. They were found in tombs at 

 Tanagra, and appear to be contemporary with the later school of Athenian art. 



10. An archaic fictile vase, discovered in the island of Cyprus by General Cesnola. 

 The design is painted in black on the clay ground of the vase, and re23resents a warrior

 speed. The form of the chariot resembles that of the warriors on the Assyrian friezes,

 predominated in Cyprus.
