36 ACCOUNTS, &C., OF THE BRITISH MUSKUM. 



11. — ACQU[SITIONS. 



By Donation or Bequest. — I. A collection of antiquities excavated by Mr. "W. M. 

 Flinders Petrie at Tel-Defenneh ( Daphnce) in Lower Egypt. It has been pro|josed to 

 identify Daphne with one of the two camps on the Pelusian arm of the Nile, where 

 Psammetichos I. gave settlements to his Ionian and Carian mercenaries, and whence 

 Amasis removed them to Memphis. If this were certain, these antiquities might be 

 assigned to about B.C. .^80-560. Some, however, of the fragments appear to be consider- 

 ably later than this. 



Among these antiquities the following may be noted : — 



1. A series of fragments representing a local fabric, in which the shapes, and, in some 

 instances, the designs of the vases are borrowed from Egyptian types. 



2. Specimens of the so-called Fikellura ware, being chiefly fragments of amphorae with 

 decorations in black on a yellowish white ground, the subjects usually being friezes of 

 animals. 



3. Specimens of the so-called PoUedrara wwre. 



4. Fragments of large amphora with black metallic glaze, and with decorations on 

 the neck in black on a red ground. 



5. Numerous fragments of red ware, with friezes of figures and other decorations in 

 black, purple, and white. The figures represent grotesque satyrs and nymphs, warriors 

 and mounted Amazons. 



6. A few objects illustrative of the local manufactures of Daphnae, consisting of frag- 

 ments of gold-work, gems, and scarabs. 



Presented by the Egypt Exploration Fund.
