Vases added to the Ashmolean Museum

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 December 2013

Extract

I have already published in the pages of this Journal some of the vases acquired by the Ashmolean Museum since the catalogue of Ashmolean vases appeared in 1893.

In vol. xviii, p. 136 is published a late Attic vase with a representation of the carrying off of Oreithyia by Boreas. In vol. xxi, p. 1 is published a red-figured vase representing Pandora rising out of the ground. In vol. xv, p. 325 two sepulchral lekythi are published. Two other papers (xiii. 70 and 137) comment upon vases already included in the Ashmolean catalogue, Nos. 211, 275, one concerned with the myth of Cacus, one with that of Tithonus and Eos.

1 One of these vases, Pl. XV, p. 325, is unfortunately in part repainted. The vase is antique, and the figure of the young man on it is genuine: but some skilful modern hand has erased the figure which stood on the other side of the stele, and painted in its place a winged Nike. The repainting had escaped the observation of both Mr. Evans and myself, and was first detected by the keen eyes of Prof. Furtwängler.
