Extract

I am indebted to the authorities of the Otago Museum, Dunedin, New Zealand, for permission to publish a column-krater which they have recently acquired. The vase is unbroken, but the main scene is badly pitted; the reverse is practically undamaged. The glaze is a good lustrous black except for an area below one handle which has fired red and dark brown. There are lotus-buds on the neck above the main scene only, and rays round the base between two bands of red. The pictures are unframed, but a third red line runs round the vase to serve as a ground line for the figures.
