Abstract
In Plate 17 and Figs. 1–2 I publish a bowl formerly in the possession of Humfry Payne, which passed to me from Mrs. Payne. It was bought in Athens and was, I believe, found in Attica.The shape is common in Attica in the late seventh and early sixth centuries, not elsewhere, unless perhaps in Boeotia. That this vase is Attic is made certain by the clay, which is a warm brown with a tendency to red. The surface is well polished. The paint is good, rather lustrous, and brown where used thinly. The applied red is exactly that of many Attic vases of the period.
