Abstract
The vase from which the designs on Plate X. are copied is a Kylix, or shallow two-handled cup, 5 inches high by 12¾ inches in diameter. It was acquired by the British Museum in 1850, together with other objects included in the sale of the collection of Dr. Emil Braun, who had procured it from the dealer Basseggio: in the sale catalogue it is stated to have been found at Vulci.Notices of this vase have appeared in various works from time to time; Dr. Braun himself exhibited it at the Roman Instituto (Bulletino di Corr. Archeol. 1846, p. 106); Gerhard, in the Archäol. Zeitung for 1846, p. 289, described it briefly; and it is included in the Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, No. 824*. In publishing for the first time, so far as I am aware, an engraving of this magnificent vase, it may be worth while to add a more detailed description than has hitherto appeared.
