Section Number:		Α 700
Title:		Miniature Black Figure Hydria
Category:		Pottery
Description:		Fragmentary; mended from many pieces, preserving most of the circumference at the shoulder and a small bit of the neck; none of the rim or of the lower part of the body. The attachments of the two horizontal handles preserved. Fountainhouse scene with two girls, facing, filling their hydriae at lion's head spouts. On each side of them and between, a column. The back of the vase ornamented with enclosed palmettes. The central column white over black; the outer columns white over the clay ground which has an orange wash. The capitals of the columns have incised necking and volutes and abaci with scalloped incision. They reach just to the junction of shoulder and neck and are surmounted by a band of black glaze. This band is stripes of white in groups of three, alternating with small squares enclosing a star pattern, the whole making a triglyph and metope arrangement resting on the Ionic columns. The pediment is provided by the ornament on the neck, of which is preserved a long serpent with panther's head and two smaller snakes beneath him. White for the architectural detail and for the girls' flesh and the stripes down the lions' noses. Red for the girls' broad fillets and the strings which tie them. Red (or white) for embroidery on their dresses. White for the hearts of the palmettes at the back. The neck glazed inside; the remainder unglazed.
