PREFACE
The objects described in the following catalogue are reproduc-
tions, made by the firm of Sabatino De Angelis and Son, of originals
in tlif National .Museum of Naples. The material is bronze, except
where some other material is expressly mentioned. With a few
exceptions these objects constitute a fairly representative selection
from among the bronze utensils, instruments, and articles of furni-
ture in the great Neapolitan collection ; and while not exact in every
particular, they do, nevertheless, give a fairly correct idea of the
originals. Inasmuch, therefore, as a complete and scientific account
of the Naples bronzes has never been issued, it has seemed worth
while to prepare a somewhat detailed catalogue, with illustrations,
of these reproductions. It has, of course, been out of the question
to furnish particulars as to technical processes employed in manu-
facture, such as might be expected from a catalogue of originals.
And it has been equally impossible in most cases to make out to what
extent the originals have been repaired since their discovery, or to
what extent objects have been combined without proof. Some sus-
picious circumstances have, however, been noted under Nos. 70 and
73. The question would be an interesting one to follow up ; but even
if some liberties may have been taken in the past which a scrupulous
director of a museum would not take to-day, there is not the slight-
est reason xo suspect any essential falsification of the witness of these
objects to ancient life.
The great majority of the Neapolitan bronzes come from the
Campanian cities buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A. D.
These objects are designated in the following catalogue as Roman.
In regard to the precise sources of many of them, exhumed in the
earlier periods of excavation, great uncertainty prevails, and it is
not uncommon to find even the most reputable authorities disagree-
ing. An extreme instance is afforded by the candelabrum given
as No. 70 in this catalogue. This is assigned by the Antichith di
Ercolano to Herculaneum, by Ruggiero, Degli Scavi di Stabia, to
Stabiae, and by the new Guida illustrata del Museo Nazionale di Na-
poli (1907) to Pompeii. In view of this situation, it has seemed wise
to be sparing with indications of provenience. The statements under
this head made by the three works just cited have been repeated
when not in conflict with one another, and occasionally some other
93
94 Preface
presumably trustworthy authority has been followed. When no
such authority was available, I have preferred not to run the risk
of making confusion worse confounded. There is the more reason
for this reticence, as the question whether a given object came from
Herculaneum, Pompeii, or Stabiae is of very little consequence.
On the other hand, it is of the utmost importance to distinguish
from the homogeneous objects found in these buried cities other
objects of earlier date and style found in graves of southern Italy.
Of such objects the Museum of Naples possesses a considerable num-
ber, jumbled up in the exhibition rooms with the mass of things from
Herculaneum and Pompeii. Some of these earlier products are rep-
resented in the present collection, and these, so far as recognized,
have been grouped together under the category of "Pre-Roman
Objects." The task of distinction has not always been easy. In
one instance (No. 7) I have ventured to reject the explicit statement
of the official inventory of the Naples Museum, which I have con-
sulted on this point as on several others. I can only hope that in
this attempt at classification no serious mistakes have been made.
For purposes of identification it has seemed desirable to give for
each piece the inventory number attached to it in the Naples Museum.
In determining these, it has been necessary to rely on the indications,
not always self-consistent, afforded by De Angelis in his catalogue
and on the copper tags attached to his products, with such confirma-
tion and correction as could be obtained from books and photographs.
Whenever any reason has been discovered for doubting a number,
an interrogation mark has been used. Doubtless some errors have
•crept in, but they ought not to be numerous.
The attempt has not been made to give a complete list of the
places of publication of individual objects, but rather to refer to
the most important, as well as to the most accessible. Overbeck's
Pompeii is cited by its fourth edition (1884), and Mau's Pompeii,
translated by Kelsey, by its revised edition (1902).
Professor M. H. Morgan, of Harvard University, has given me
the benefit of his advice on two or three matters, and Mr. H. F.
De Cou has corrected and extended my notes at numerous points.
To both of these gentlemen I herewith express my thanks.

PRE-ROMAN OBJECTS
1. (24101) Greek Hydria
Shape similar to that of the Attic earthenware hydria of the late sixth and
early fifth century B. C. {British Museum Catalogue of Vases, II, p. 5, Fig. 14),
but somewhat more slender. On the lip, bead and egg patterns. On the
shoulder, tongue pattern. Around the body, at the height of the lateral handles,
a guilloche between groups of incised lines. On the Lesbian cyma of the foot
a pattern consisting of leaves alternating with fractional palmettes( ?). The
lateral handles are edged with bead pattern, and each bears in relief two
identical nude male standing figures, placed head to head; the attach-
ments have the form of palmettes. The upright handle, forming a curve of
double flexure, is ornamented with three bead patterns; the lower attachment
has the form of a Gorgon's face and arms, with the addition of the foreparts
of two horses; at the upper termination of the handle is a lion's head, with
open mouth and protruding tongue, and with mane running back some distance
along the handle.

see Furtwangler in Roscher, Lexikon der griech. u. rb'm. Mythologie, I, 1712. For the horses cf.
De Ridder, Bronzes de I'Acropole, Nos. 145-148, 197; for the nude male figures, ib. No. 168.
2. (24095) Greek Pitcher
Around the trifoliate lip, an egg pattern. On the shoulder and the lower
part of the body, tongue patterns, between which is a guilloche. The handle
is ribbed.
Naples 73047. Fifth (?) century B. C.
3. (24097) Greek Pitcher
Around the trifoliate lip, bead and egg patterns. On the shoulder, incised
encircling rings. On the body, tongue pattern. The lower attachment of the
ribbed handle has the form of a siren with recurved wings, her feet resting on
a palmette.
Naples 69046. Fifth century B. C.
4. (24091) Pitcher
The receptacle rests on a high support, which has a corrugated border, three
claw feet and pendent palmettes between the feet. On the shoulder is a tongue
pattern. The extravagantly elongated neck is encircled at two points with
collars, and the trefoil lip is corrugated vertically. The flat, three-ribbed
handle is supported by an openwork relief, representing a four-horse chariot and
charioteer in front view. Below the chariot is a lion's mask and at each side
the forepart of a snake. Long-stemmed palmettes connect the heads of the
outer horses with the handle. At each end of the upper attachment of the
handle is a disk ornamented with a rosette.
Naples 69089. Ruvo (according to Monaco, Handbook to the Naples Museum).

5. (24046) Pitcher
The lower attachment of the handle has the form of a palmette.
Naples 69156. Pitchers of the type represented by this and the following specimen are com-
mon in Italian tombs of the fifth century B. C. See Gsell, Fouilles de Vulci, p. 518.
6. (24047) Pitcher
The ribbed handle has a leaf-shaped attachment below.
Naples 69154. See preceding note.
7. (24098) ' Basin
The deep bowl is united to a support in the form of a fluted ring with three
claw feet. On the lip, an egg pattern. Each of the two fixed handles represents
two elongated lions, with an upright floral ornament between them, while the
attachments end in snakes' heads, broad and flat.
Naples 73549. Mus. Barb. VI, lxii, 2. Although ascribed in the inventory of the Naples
Museum to Herculaneum, this basin appears on the evidence of style to be of the sixth century B.
C, and probably Greek. Cf. the archaic basin from Lucania, Not. d. Scavi, 1897, p. 164, Fig. 10.
8. (24088) Basin
Deep, almost hemispherical, bowl without base or feet. On the convex
rim, a tongue pattern, interrupted at four equidistant points by palmettes and
encircled by a bead pattern. If there were handles originally, they have dis-
appeared.
Naples 73697. Fifth-fourth century B. C.
9. (24093) Basin
Shallow bowl without base or feet. Two plain handles, which play in
bobbin-like attachments.
Naples 76583. Fifth-fourth century B. C.
10. (24176) Corded Cista
The cylindrical vessel has nine horizontal rings. There are three low
cylindrical feet placed horizontally. The two bails are spirally grooved in
imitation of ropes for the greater part of their length; they swing in loops
formed by strips of bronze riveted to the vessel.
Naples 68881. Fifth century B. C. Found near Nocera in Campania. Bullettino archeo-
logico napolitano, N. S., V (1857), PI. III. On vessels of this type, called in Italian ciste a cordoni,
see Mau in Pauly-Wissowa, Realencyclopadie, s. v. cista, and the authorities there cited.
11. (24262) Small Pail
The shoulder and the lower part of the body of the vessel have two similar
bands of ornaments, each consisting of two rows of leaf-shaped figures, the
points of the upper row directed downward, those of the lower row upward.
Between the two bands are two pairs of incised horizontal rings. The single
bail, made of stout wire, has a loop at the top. The attachments are in pal-
mette form.
Naples 68871. This pail is probably identical with one figured in the Bullettino archeo-
logico napolitano, N. S., V (1857), PI. III. In that case it was found near Nocera in Campania.
12. (24279) Pail
Around the lip, egg pattern. Two plain bails, whose attachments terminate
in palmettes below. The three feet spool-shaped.
Naples 68865. Mus. Borb. IV, xn, 2; Overbeck, Pompeii, Fig. 241, d; Mau-Kelsey, Pompeii,
Fig. 204, d. For the shape compare the more elaborate specimen in the British Museum (Cat-a
loRue of Bronzes, No. 650, p. 107).

13. (24266) Pail
The vessel is without ornamentation. The single bail is of iron, and is
bent into a sort of loop at the top. The attachments end in dogs' (?) heads.
Naples 1 10740.
14. (24277) Pail
The unusually thin vessel is without ornamentation. The single bail was
of iron, now mostly corroded away.
Naples 68864.
15. (24250) Etruscan Candelabrum
Three claw-footed legs. Plain shaft encircled by two rings below and by
three and then two disks above. Four arms terminating in spikes for candles.
Surmounting the shaft is a rudely modeled cock.
Naples 73150.
16. (24258) Candelabrum
Base three-legged, with openwork ornament. Two sections of the shaft
are pentagonal and are ornamented with incised rosettes and other patterns.
The remainder of the shaft is cylindrical and horizontally corrugated. The
capital is quasi-Corinthian. From its top rises the candle holder, shaped some-
what like a flower on its stem. On the exterior of the holder are incised patterns;
within is an upright spike for a candle.

17. (24220) Lamp
The shallow, cylindrical receptacle for oil is ornamented on the edge with
bead pattern and below that, with a tongue pattern. There are three equidis-
tant nozzles for wicks and a mask of Silenus, the hollow space behind which
does not communicate with the receptacle. In the center rises a quasi-Doric
column surmounted by a siren with folded wings. Above her head is a ring,
by which the lamp could be carried.

ROMAN OBJECTS
CHEST
A well-to-do Roman needed a strong box in which valuables
could be kept. This often stood in the atrium of the house. Such
was the case with the original of the chest here exhibited.
18. (24283) Chest
The chest is of wood (?), sheathed with iron and finished with bronze trim-
mings. On the front are various heads and busts, as follows: in the lower
row a maenad, ivy-crowned, between two Cupids, one having an ivy- wreath
around his neck and the other a crown of grape clusters on his head; in the
upper row a boar's head between a Diana, characterized by her quiver, and
a maenad, wearing a fawn's skin; above the boar, a lion's (?) head. For
raising the lid there is a handle, formed of two palmettes. The fastenings of
the lid are at the two ends of the chest.

Mau-Kelsey, Pompeii, Fig. 1 20. [The boar's head is missing from this reproduction.)
COUCHES
The Romans reclined at dinner upon couches, which were sim-
ilar to their beds. The typical dining-room contained three couches,
each intended to accommodate three persons. The "upper" couch
(lectus summus) had a headboard, the "lower" (lectus imus) a foot-
board. See Mau-Kelsey, Pompeii, pp. 263, 367, 368; Ransom, Stud-
ies in Ancient Furniture, p. 32. The three couches of a set would
naturally be of a similar pattern, and in particular the two pairs of
curved end-rests (fulcra) would correspond. The descriptions of
the four following objects have been written on the assumption that
these objects in their original form were dining couches rather than
bedsteads.
19. (24299) Couch
Parts of two or three couches, improperly restored as a single couch with
five legs.
Naples 72985.
20. (24289) Couch
Parts of one or more couches improperly restored as a seat.
Naples in 764. There is probably no warrant for the curving form given in the restoration
to the two long sides.

21. (24282) "Bisellium"
Parts of two or three couches, improperly restored as a seat. The two
fulcra in front end in horses' heads above and have busts of bearded, horned
satyrs on the medallions below. Those at the back end in heads of aquatic birds
above and have masks of Medusa below. The rails are inlaid with copper
and silver in alternating meanders and rosettes.

22. (24306) "Bisellium"
Parts of two or three couches improperly restored as a seat. The two ful-
cra in front end above in mules' heads and have busts of bearded, horned satyrs,
ivy-crowned, on the medallions below. Those at the back end above in heads
of aquatic birds and have masks of Medusa on the medallions below. The rails
in front are inlaid with copper and silver in alternating meanders and rosettes.
Each foot has an inlaid garland and rosette, and there are still other inlaid
patterns on the legs.

tion shows two satyrs, one of which is now missing.
TABLES AND STANDS
The light tables or stands represented in this collection were used
in Roman houses for supporting vases and other such objects. See
Overbeck, Pompeii, p. 429; Mau-Kelsey, Pompeii, p. 369.
23. (24259) Round Table
Three claw-footed legs, resting on a low, three-armed, molded base. They
are ornamented with an elaborate pattern of scrolls, wings, palmettes, etc.,
in the midst of which is an archaistic head of Hercules, bearded and wearing
a lion's skin. They are united by three scrolls attached to an upright, molded
centerpiece. Higher up, the legs take the form of sphinxes, from between
whose wings rise floral stems. The circular top rests on a three-armed sup-
port attached to these stems. The high rim around the tray is adorned with
garlands of leaves and fruits suspended from ox-skulls.
Naples 72995. Perhaps from Herculaneum. Mus. Borb. IX, XIII ; Mau-Kelsey, Pompeii,
Fig. 191. Pernice, Jahrbuch des arch&ologischen Jnstituts, 1908, pp. 107 ff., argues that the round
tray did not originally belong to the tripod.
24. (24281) Round Table
Claw-footed legs rest on a triangular base, consisting of three molded, cylin-
drical supports, connected by crossbars. Near the top each leg takes the form
of the forepart of a hound springing upward from a group of leaves. A three-
armed brace connects the legs.
Naples 78613.
25. (24288) Rectangular Table
Four legs, each ending below in a hoof and having a horse's head near the
top. The legs are connected in such a way that the top can be raised or low-
ered. The frame of the top has inlaid rosettes in front.
Naples 1 1 1047. Pompeii. Not. d. Scavi, 1876, p. 27. According to this record there ap-
pears to have been evidence that the original top was of wood, as in this reproduction.
104 Field Museum of Natural History — Anth., Vol. VII.
26. (24290) Rectangular Table
The four legs are connected in such a way that the top can be raised or
lowered. They end below in claw feet on round, molded bases. Above they
are encircled with acanthus and other leaves, from which emerge young satyrs,
each holding a rabbit under the left arm. The legs, below the acanthus
leaves, are ornamented with elaborate floral patterns, inlaid in silver (?),
while other less elaborate patterns are inlaid on the adjustable connecting
pieces and the frame of the marble top.
Naples 72994. Pompeii. Mus. Borb. XV, vi; Overbeck, Pompeii, Fig. 230, c.
27. (24291) Stand
Four claw feet resting on round, molded bases support a rectangular pedes-
tal, on whose upper surface, at each corner, is an inlaid copper rosette. On
the center of this pedestal is a smaller, round pedestal, on which is a Victory
poised upon a sphere. With her right hand she supports against her shoulder
a trophy (cuirass, helmet, shield and sword, attached to a cross). In her left
hand there may have been a palm branch. On the sphere are a star and a cres-
cent of copper inlay. Behind the Victory is a rectangular pillar, unusually
elongated, but otherwise typical, surmounted by a bearded head representing
Hermes. Above the head the support assumes a vase-like form, upon which
is a four-armed rest.
Naples 72987. Pompeii. Fiorelli, Scavi di Pompeii dal 1861 al 1872, p. 163, No. 140. Ac-
cording to this notice there was a small square of marble on the four-armed rest. The whole
probably formed a stand for some light object, such as a small vase.
28. (24159, 24297) Tripod and Tray
The round tray has a 'flange, which rests upon the tripod, without being at-
tached to it. The tripod is adjustable. The legs are claw-footed and have
leaf and other ornaments, one of which appears to represent the head and part
of the body of a serpent. (?)
Naples 73950? Mus. Borb. V, lx, 4; Overbeck, Pompeii, Fig. 230, b.
29. (24164) Tripod
The tripod is adjustable. The flat legs are claw-footed and have leaf-shaped
terminations above. These must have supported a round tray, like that of No.

FOLDING STOOLS
The two folding stools which follow resemble in construction the
curule seat {sella curulis), which was used as a symbol of office by
Roman municipal magistrates, as well as by the higher magistrates
of Rome itself. Perhaps, as is commonly believed, these speci-
mens actually served as sellae curules; but possibly they were for
ordinary domestic use. See Smith, Dictionary of Greek and Roman
Antiquities, s. v. sella.
30. (24305)TFolding Stool <
The legs end below in the heads of animals, holding in their open mouths
transversely ribbed pieces, which rest upon the floor.

31. (24300) Folding Stool
The legs end below in animals' heads, similar to those of No. 30, but fan-
tastically prolonged into a sort of proboscis, which rests upon the floor.
Naples 73152. Mus. Borb. VI, xxvm. The design of garlands on the modern wooden
frame is said in the text of the Museo Borbonico to be copied from the impression left by the origi-
nal ivory (?) frame.
OTHER FURNITURE
32. " (24162) Chair
Only the bronze portions are antique.
Naples 1 1 1050. Pompeii. Not. d. Scavi, 1876, p. 27.
33. (24284) Bench
The legs are set a good way in from the ends. They curve outward, and
each pair rest on a flat cross-bar.
Naples 73017. From the so-called Stabian Baths of Pompeii (?).
34. (24280) Basin
In the center of the basin are patterns of silver and copper inlay. Around
the edge is an egg-and-dart pattern. The basin rests upon a marble support,
which is decorated with downward-pointing leaves and fruit-stems.
Naples 72990. The statement of Monaco that this basin is from the Temple of Isis at Pompeii
appears to be without foundation. Probably it is from a private house, like the marble basin
shown in Overbeck, Pompeii, Fig. 236.
LAMPS
Candles of wax and of tallow were familiar to the ancient
Romans, but their use seems to have been confined to the poor.
Lamps, in which olive oil was burned, were in much more general
use. The cheaper ones, which have survived in immense numbers,
are of earthenware, but bronze lamps were not rare. They are
small, and have usually one, two, or three nozzles for wicks. The
aperture for filling the lamp is provided with a removable cover.
If the lamp was to be carried about, it has a handle, often of orna-
mental form. Many lamps are furnished with chains for suspension.
35. (24212, 24308) Lamp
Three nozzles. Handle formed of two curving stems, attached above to
a heart-shaped plate, which is ornamented at top and bottom with palmettes.
On the cover a dancing ( ?) youth, poised on his right foot and looking back-
ward. He is nude, except for a loin-cloth; on his head is a peaked cap; from
his right hand a pick-wick depends by ring and chain. The small pedestal to
which the foot of the statuette is attached is furnished with two projections
corresponding to two slots. Except when the statuette is so turned that the
projections slip through the slots, the lifting of the figure lifts the entire cover.

36. (24237) Lamp
One nozzle. The handle resembles two stems, attached below by simple
leaves, drawn together at the middle by a band, and united above to a heart-
shaped member. To the point of this member the cover is attached by a
chain and rings. Towards the front are rosettes, one on each side, connected
by a stem passing underneath the lamp.

37. (24239) Lamp
This lamp resembles No. 36 in design, but is smaller and somewhat simpler.
The cover is missing.
Naples 72223.
38. (24257) Lamp
One nozzle. The handle is attached below by a mask of Silenus (?), and
its free upper end is modeled as a lion's head.
Naples 72327. Mus. Borb. VI, xlvii, 3 shows a similar handle.
39. (24213) Suspension Lamp
Three equi-distant arms end in nozzles for wicks. The body of the lamp
is ornamented with a festoon of leaves and ribbons and with three masks.

40. (24255) Suspension Lamp
Two nozzles. On each side the forepart of a bull. Where the body of
the lamp begins to pass into the nozzle at either end there is a sort of stem,
going underneath and terminating above in a flower on each side. On the top
of the lamp are two ducks, their heads bent back to form rings for the suspension
chains. The inscription-plate gives the owner's name as Decius Junius Proculus.
Naples 72166. Pompeii. Mus. Borb. XVI. Frontispiece. The inscription {C. I. L. X.

41. (24253) Suspension Lamp
Three nozzles. The body is adorned with a festoon of leaves and ribbons
and three differing masks, — one of them at least a theatric mask. The cover is
in the form of a fluted vase, its bottom perforated to permit the introduction
of oil into the lamp. This cover is so contrived that it cannot be removed
except in one position, which allows two projections to slip through two cor-
responding slots in the mouth of the lamp.
Naples 72181.
42. (24225) Lamp with Folding Handle
There is one nozzle, just behind which there passes under the lamp a sort
of stem, ending in rosettes above. The handle, hinged at the middle, is attached
to the lamp by two heads of aquatic birds.
Naples 72336. Stabiae. Ant. di Ere. VIII, lv. The illustration shows a cover, attached by
a chain to the inner end of the handle. This cover appears to be now missing.
43. (24218, 24023) Night Lamp and Saucer
The egg-shaped body of the lamp is loaded with lead in its lower part to
ensure stability. The cylindrical tube for the wick has a slit on one side to
provide contact with the oil. When the hinged cover was shut down, the flame
was largely concealed. There is a short flat handle. The shallow plate or
saucer, found with the lamp, may have been been used with it.

CANDELABRA
The word candelabrum, originally signifying a candle holder
(cf. Nos. 15, 16), came to be applied to lamp standards, which resem-
bled in construction the candle holders. The essential parts of one of
these lamp standards are: (1) a three-footed base; (2) a shaft;
(3) a disk for a single lamp. Tall candelabra of this type stood
on the floor; short ones, like No. 66, on tables. The name candelabra
is further applied to other lamp holders of elaborate design, such as

44. (24241) Candelabrum
The horizontal portion of each leg ends in the head of some feline animal,
which grips in its jaws the claw foot. On the upper surface of the leg is a
leaf with recurved point. Between the legs are double palmettes with female
masks (Medusa?) at the center. The fluted shaft rises from an ornamented
socket or base. The vase-like top is ornamented with various patterns in relief.

46. (24236) Candelabrum •
Between the claw-footed legs are open-work palmettes. Acanthus leaves,
starting from the base of the shaft, extend on to the upper surfaces of the
legs. The shaft is fluted. The vase-like top is ornamented with various
patterns in relief.
Naples 73032.
47. (24229) Candelabrum
The three legs have an unusual amount of curvature, and the claw feet
rest on rectangular molded bases. Between the legs are double palmettes.
The shaft, rising from an ornamented socket, is surrounded below by four rows
of leaves, and above these is fluted with alternately deep and shallow channels.
The vase-like top has comparatively little ornamentation.
Naples 73048.
48. (24228) Candelabrum
Between the claw-footed legs are relatively large tragic masks in horizontal
position. The shaft is fluted. The vase-like top is ornamented with patterns
in relief.

from legs to shaft is covered by three inverted acanthus leaves. The shaft,
which springs from a group of conventionalized leaves, is fluted with alternately
deep and shallow channels and is surmounted by a fantastic three-cornered
capital, whose angles are formed by the foreparts of winged monsters. Upon
this capital is a vase-like top, ornamented with patterns in relief.
Naples 73045-
50. (24245) Candelabrum
There are long leaf ornaments on the upper surfaces of the claw-footed
legs. The fluted shaft springs from a sort of calyx, and is surmounted by a
modified Ionic capital with diagonally placed volutes. Upon the capital is
a female head, and upon this the lamp-support, its disk edged with bead and
egg-and-dart ornaments.
Naples 73051. Ant: di Ere. VIII, lxxvii.
51. (24247) Candelabrum
The claw feet rest upon open-mouthed frogs. Between the legs are palm-
ettes. The lower part of the shaft is encircled with inverted leaves, three of
which extend on to the upper surfaces of the legs. The main portion of the
shaft is fluted and is surmounted by a bell-shaped capital. Upon this stands
a triple herm, — three male figures, modeled down to the loins and carrying
on their shoulders a he-goat, a calf (?) and a lamb (?). The one with the he-
goat is himself horned and probably represents the god Pan. From the center
of the triple herm rises a short stem, which expands into the lamp-support.
Naples 73°S5-
52. (24232) Candelabrum
The claw feet rest on round, molded pedestals. Between the legs are
leaf-like ornaments bearing palmettes on their upper surfaces. The socket
from which the fluted shaft rises is ornamented with tongue patterns. The
capital is bud-shaped, with heads of aquatic birds emerging from between the
sepals. Two rows of leaves encircle the base of the top. The disk for the
lamp is scalloped.
Naples 73042.
53. (24256) Candelabrum
The three legs imitate human right legs. Above them is a circular plate,
bearing on its center a molded base, from which rises the plain rectangular
shaft surmounted by two terminal busts. These seem to have each a pair of
small wings and may be intended for Cupid and Psyche. The smaller adjustable
shaft bears a vase-like top.

56. (24242) Candelabrum
The three feet are connected by means of recurved leaves, volutes and
palmettes to the corners of a base, whose three sides are bordered with leaf-and-
dart patterns and whose edges bear bead patterns. The transition from base
to shaft is effected by three inverted palmette leaves. The fluted shaft is
apparently conceived as made up of separate rods, held together at one point
by a sort of ferule. From the shaft rises the vase-like top, decorated with
leaves.
Naples 73023.
57. (24231) Candelabrum
Above the three claw feet is a plate-like member, elaborately ornamented
with concentric patterns on its upper surface and its edges. From a socket on
the center of the plate rises the fluted shaft. Above the shaft transitional
members lead to the vase-like top, all profusely decorated with floral and other
patterns, even on the upper surface where the lamp rested.

profusely decorated with floral and other patterns.
Naples 73091.
60. (24248) Candelabrum and Lamp
The three feet, which imitate no natural form, are constructed as if hinged at
the middle. Above them is a plain disk, convex on its upper face. From the
center of this, without any ornamental socket, rises the fluted shaft. Above
the shaft is a simple, unornamented top. Furthermore, this candelabrum car-
ries a lateral lamp-rest, which can be slid up and down the shaft and held in
place by a pin. On this rest is a single-wick lamp, with ring handle and with
bead pattern around the upper surface.
Naples 73151. Mus. Borb. XVI, Frontispiece.
61. (24249) Candelabrum
The comparatively inartistic feet do not imitate any natural form. Above
them is a circular plate, bearing on its center a molded base, from which rises
the plain rectangular shaft. Two terminal bearded heads surmount the
shaft, one with ram's horns and ivy wreath representing Ammon, the other with
broad head-band, probably Dionysus. The smaller adjustable shaft bears a top
in the form of a vase (crater), with handles of twisted wire.

The three legs in their lower parts imitate dolphins with small shells in their
mouths. Between the legs are scallop shells, partially joined to one another
and, above, to the central member. On this is a molded base, from which rises
the plain rectangular shaft, surmounted by two terminal female busts. One
of these has on a Phrygian cap, the other the skin of an elephant's head (?).
The smaller, adjustable shaft bears a vase-like top.

Cloven-footed legs, on whose horizontal parts are recurved leaves; between
them, broad, flat shells. From a molded base rises the rectangular shaft, sur-
mounted by two terminal heads representing Hercules and Omphale, the latter
having her head covered with a lion's skin. The smaller, adjustable shaft bears
a vase-like top.

The legs end in cloven hoofs. The horizontal portion of each leg is covered
by two long narrow leaves, the end of the one below rolled into a scroll, that of
the one above recurved. Heads of marine monsters project from the central
member and rest upon the legs. Between the legs are broad, flat shells. From
a molded base rises the rectangular shaft, surmounted by two terminal busts
representing a satyr and an ivy-crowned maenad. The smaller adjustable
shaft bears a vase-like top.

A Silenus is seated upon a rock and somewhat turned to the left. With
his left hand he grips the neck of a partially filled wine-skin, which hangs over
his left arm. The top of his head is bald; his hairy body is nude, except for
a single garment carelessly draped. Behind him is a twisted stalk, bearing
acanthus leaves at intervals and dividing into two branches, which support
each a lamp-rest.

The three-stepped, rectangular pedestal is supported by claw feet resting
on low round bases. On the pedestal stands a drunken Silenus. He has thick-
soled shoes on his stumpy feet and a loose garment hanging from his shoulders.
To his back is attached a cluster of leaves, from which spring two diverging
branches carrying each a lamp-rest. In the crotch of the branches is perched
a parrot.

69. (24216) Candelabrum
Four claw feet are attached by volutes and palmettes to the rectangular
pedestal. At the front is a rectangular recess, with a semicircular projection
within the recess. On the back part of the main pedestal is a small square
pedestal, from which rises a fluted column, ending in a vase-like top. This
bears three arms, from each of which is suspended a lamp. Two of these are
single-wick lamps, closely similar in design, with handles ending above in
horses' heads. The third has two nozzles, has a lion's head on each side, and
rings, formed of birds' heads and necks, for the suspension chains. On the main
pedestal, in front of the column, is an octagonal altar with a pointed object on
top intended to represent flame. The vertical faces of the main pedestal, of
the lower part of the altar, and of the column pedestal are enriched with
palmette-and-lotus patterns and other patterns in relief.

four scroll-shaped supports, each carrying a suspended lamp. Two of the
lamps (one of them accompanied by a 'pick- wick) are of similar design, each
having a curved handle ending above in a horse's head. One (with missing
cover) has a plain tablet, presumably intended for the owner's name (cf. No. 40).

71. (24226) Candelabrum
Four claw feet connected by acanthus leaves to the rectangular, molded
pedestal. On the back part of the pedestal is a realistic tree-trunk, dividing
at the top into four branches. These, with a smaller, lateral branch, carry five
suspension lamps of varying designs. One of these has lions' heads and bird's
neck rings like one of No. 69. The lateral branch appears to have been
designed to carry two lamps, one of which is missing.

72. (24227) Candelabrum
Four claw feet resting on round, molded bases are attached by volutes and
palmettes to a rectangular pedestal having a semicircular recess in front. The
moldings of the pedestal are ornamented with leaf-and-dart, egg and bead
patterns. On the upper surface of the pedestal near the edges, are vine
branches, the stems inlaid in copper, the leaves inlaid in silver, and the tendrils
and grapes engraved. On one side of the pedestal is a statuette of a she-
panther, on which rides a young Bacchus, nude, ivy-crowned and holding up a
drinking-horn in his right hand. On the other side is a rectangular altar, on
which are sticks laid cross-wise and burning. From the back part of the pedes-
tal rises a square pillar. Near the top of this, in front, is a female mask; at
the back an ox-skull. On each side of the nondescript capital is a flower in
relief, and on the top an upstanding, flower-like ornament. Four ornamental
curving arms diverge diagonally from the capital, each carrying a double-wick
suspension lamp. One of these has on each side an elephant's head and is
overarched by two dolphins, heads downward; another has above, near each

CENSER
The following object, often classed with the candelabra, is evidently
better adapted for burning incense, the cup-like top serving to hold
charcoal.
74. (24240) Censer
Three-sided base with claw feet. On each side of the base a double palmette
ornament. The base is finished off above with Ionic volutes. The shaft has
at intervals projecting rings and disks, after the fashion of a wooden shaft
turned on a lathe. The cup-like top is in the form of a lotus flower.

the Naples Museum has a pair of these objects as closely alike as possible.
LAMP-RESTS
These low lamp-rests were set upon tables. Each has a circular
top and seems to have been designed for a special lamp (Pernice, in
the Anzeiger of the Jahrbuch des archaologischen Instituts, 1900, pp.

LANTERNS
A Roman lantern consists of a small oil lamp set in the middle of
a cylindrical frame, originally enclosed with some transparent sub-
stance, such as mica or horn. There is a perforated cover, which
could be lifted so as to get at the lamp. A handle for carrying is
connected by chains to the two upright pieces of the frame. Smith,

BRAZIERS
The brazier, or open pan for burning charcoal, was the usual — in
Pompeii almost the only — means of furnishing artificial heat to the
living-rooms of Roman houses. Even for bathing establishments
there was no more efficient system until the invention, early in the
first century B. C, of the suspensura or hollow floor for the circulation
of hot air.
88. (24287) Large Rectangular Brazier
At the front corners the claw-footed legs are modeled above in the form of
busts of sphinxes emerging from clusters of leaves, while the legs at the back are
rectangular, but also claw- footed. The frame is battlemented, with open-work
palmettes at the corners. The heifer on the front of the frame stands for
Vaccula, the donor's cognomen. The fire-bed is missing.
Naples 73005. From the so-called Stabian Baths at Pompeii. The inscription (C. /. L. X,

this brazier) from his private means." The closely similar brazier presented by the same Vaccula
to the Baths near the Forum of Pompeii is figured in Mus. Borb. II, liv.
89. (24286) Rectangular Brazier
The feet are straight and plain. At .each end of the frame is a swinging

90. (24292) Rectangular Brazier
The claw feet rest on round, molded bases. On one long side of the frame is
a pattern of copper and silver inlay, — two scrolls of conventionalized vegetable
stems and flowers springing from a central clump of acanthus leaves. On the
other long side is a design, also of copper and silver inlay, consisting of a repeated
pattern of scrolls, palmettes and rosettes. On each of the short sides are two
ivy sprays of copper inlay. At the corners are upstanding palmettes. The
fire-bed is missing.

There are three claw feet, resting on round, molded pedestals and termi-
nating above in horned satyrs' heads between volutes. On the broad, flat band
of the frame, directly above the feet, are three tragic masks. Midway between
each two of these is a lion's head, carrying a swinging handle in its jaws, while
six disks are set between the lions' heads and the masks. The fire-bed is of

WATER-HEATERS
Hot water was sometimes used at a Roman dinner for mixing
with wine. The utensils for meeting this and perhaps some other
requirements are portable, and are generally provided with handles
The fuel was charcoal. Smith, Dictionary of Greek and Roman
Antiquities, s. vv. authepsa, caldarium; Mau-Kelsey, Pompeii, pp.

95. (24187) Water-heater
The globular, twelve-lobed vessel is supported on three feet, which have the
form of lions' legs and paws, resting on low, molded pedestals. Within the
receptacle for water is a cylindrical fire-chamber, provided at the bottom with
a perforated pan for supporting the charcoal. There is a tall, fluted, hinged
cover, the raising of which gave the necessary draft for the fire-chamber. A
loose inner cover, shaped like a flat ring, fits over the boiler, but leaves the fire-
chamber open. This inner cover could be secured by means of two projecting
pins attached to the under surface and having handles above. (See the draw-
ing in the Museo Borbonico.) Water could be poured in at the top, or through
the vase-like attachment on one side. On the side of the vessel opposite to
this vase there was a faucet, now missing, and behind the faucet an upright tube
serving as a vent. The handles are of the volute type. Their fiat backs are
decorated with inlaid laurel (?) sprays; their margins with bead and leaf-and-
dart patterns. On the upper surface of the vessel, outside the conical cover,
n6 Field Museum of Natural History — Anth., Vol. VII.
are bead and palmette-and-lotus patterns; on the lip, bead and leaf-and-dart
patterns. The vent tube is masked by three acanthus leaves. There are
palmettes where the legs join the body.

96. (24189) Water-heater
This heater has the form of an amphora supported by a tripod-ring. The
ring is ornamented with egg-ahd-dart. The feet have the form above of sirens
with outspread wings, and below of lions' paws resting on low molded pedestals.
The heater consists of a boiler and within this a fire-chamber having a round
opening in the side of the amphora for the introduction of charcoal and the
escape of fumes. The boiler was filled and emptied from the top, which is
covered with a hinged lid.

97. (24185) Water-heater
This heater resembles in form a small cask, resting on a ring supported by
three claw feet. The fire-chamber is cylindrical, and extends from bottom to
top of the boiler. The hinged lid covers only the receptacle for water, leaving
the fire-chamber open above for the necessary draft. The heated water was
drawn off through a faucet in the form of a human head, with a handle terminating
in a dog's head and surmounted by a Cupid bestriding a dolphin. The vase-
like attachment near the top communicates with the boiler by a small tube
serving as a vent; water could also be introduced through this tube. The heater
could be carried by means of a ring and three chains, each of whose attachments
represents a swan and, clasped by the swan's legs, a female mask (Venus?).
Around the lip of the vessel are a bead pattern and a flat egg pattern. The
cover was lifted by an upright handle somewhat resembling a vase.

This heater resembles the last in all important particulars of shape and
construction, but is smaller. The faucet is in the form of a lion's head; the
handle is missing The attachments for the chains are in the form of female
masks. The handle of the lid represents a dolphin.
Naples 73884.
99. (24179) Water-heater
This heater consists of a cylinder, supported on three claw feet, and a
removable vessel which fits into the cylinder above and fills the upper half of it.
The grating is missing. The handle for the door is in the form of the head of an
aquatic bird. The cylinder is provided with a bail, whose ends rudely imitate
birds' heads. There may have been originally a loose cover for the water- vessel.

and above this, a receptacle for water. In the original the two comic masks at
the back are said to have afforded the necessary draft, and the one above the
door to have communicated with the boiler, so as to permit the drawing off of

101. (24307) Water-heater
This heater is of exceptionally complex construction. The fire must have
been made on the circular, concave plate, which forms an extension of the rec-
tangular iron pan. Partly surrounding the fire-space is a hollow jacket, which
communicates with a barrel-shaped receptacle. This has a hinged lid. Water
was poured in at the top of the "barrel" and was drawn off by a faucet in the
form of a man's head attached to the jacket. Near the top of the " barrel" is a
vent-hole ( ?) covered by a comic mask. The three claw-footed swans on the
top of the jacket may have served to support a dish which was to be kept hot.
The purpose of the rectangular pan is not clear. There are four feet, which
have the form of swans, passing below into lions' paws; these rest on low,
molded pedestals. There are five swinging handles. Evidently the object
could not have been carried by one person. At the top of the lid is a handle in
the form of a male bust (Mercury?). The attachment of the hinge to the lid
is a female mask. On the rim of the "barrel" are bead and egg patterns.

102. (24193) Small Water-heater
Considerable parts of this heater are missing, viz., the feet, the chains and
ring by which it was carried and most of the exterior wall of the boiler. The
heater is cylindrical, with a cylindrical fire-chamber. Water was apparently
introduced through the larger hole above, which may have been closed by a
plug, the smaller being left open for a vent. There may have been a faucet for
drawing off the heated water.
Naples 73883.
103. ( 4 qo) Small Water-heater (?)
This object consists of a small cylinder, supported on three claw feet and a
removable vessel which almost fills the cylinder. There is no grating or other
contrivance for securing a draft. The door is missing. There is a bail, whose
ends remotely suggest birds' heads, and whose attachments are in the form of
human masks.
Naples 73881.
104. (24285) Water-heater and Brazier
This has the form of a square, battlemented fortress, with a tower at each
corner. Each tower is covered by a hinged lid, on raising which water could be
poured into the hollow frame. There is a faucet on one side for drawing off
the heated water. There are four swinging handles, two on each of two opposite
sides. The fire-pan is of iron.

COOKING-STOVE
The Pompeian kitchen had regularly a hearth of masonry, on
which the cooking was done. (Mau-Kelsey, Pompeii, pp. 266-7).
However, the present object is evidence that small, portable hearths
or open stoves were also in use for the same purpose. The fuel
used was charcoal.
105. (26145) Cooking-stove
Low, iron frame supporting a hearth of cement. Four movable cross-bars
for broiling. At one end two round frames to hold cooking vessels.

PAILS
Of the pails here represented some, as No. 106, may have been
intended for ornament rather than use. When the single bail is pro-
vided with a ring for a cord or chain, the pail may have been used
for dipping water from a cistern or for heating water over a fire.
106. (24278) Pail
Several bands of ornament in relief, with some silver incrustation, around
the upper part of the vessel. The broadest band consists of scrolls of con-
ventionalized leaves, interrupted by a long-necked bird, a griffin devouring a
bullock, the long-necked bird again, and a grazing stag. Above this band a
guilloche between two borders, each consisting of a bead pattern between two
rope patterns obliquely grooved in opposite directions. Below the band of
scrolls an egg pattern between two bead patterns. The projection at the bot-
tom of the vessel is encircled by a guilloche. The three feet have the form of
lion-headed griffins passing below into lions' paws, the transition being masked
by leaves; under the paws are low, round pedestals. Two bails, each orna-
mented with a guilloche. The attachments of the bails are ornamented with
rosettes, between each pair of which is a mask of Bacchus ( ?). On the inner side
of each bail is an incised inscription, signifying that the vessel was the property
of Cornelia Chelido.
Naples 68854. Mus. Borb. Ill, xiv; Overbeck, Pompeii, Fig. 247. On the authority of De
Petra the inscriptions are given in C.I.L., X, 8071, 38 in the form: CORNELAS • CHELDON1 .
The owner was apparently a Greek woman, since Chelido is a Greek name (ytXldcav, a swallow).
107. (24272) Pail
Around the upper part of the vessel several bands of ornament in relief.
The broadest band consists of scrolls of conventionalized leaves and flowers
separated by animals, viz., two pairs of bulls drinking from basins and two
leaping stags. Above this band is a guilloche between two triple borders, like
those of No. 106, and above this group an egg pattern followed by a bead pattern.
Below the band of scrolls is another triple border, as above, followed by a leaf
pattern, a bead pattern and three plain bands. There are two bails, each
ornamented with a guilloche. The attachments of the" bails are ornamented
with rosettes, between which are upstanding palmettes. Three projections
from the bottom of the vessel serve as feet.

CRATERS OR MIXING VESSELS
As the Romans, like the Greeks, were in the habit of mixing water
with their wine before serving, wide-mouthed vessels were required
in which the mixture could be made. Such vessels were called craters
120 Field Museum of Natural History — Anth., Vol. VII.
(xpar^peq, craterae). The Greek metal crater often had a separate
stand, which in Roman specimens is often united into one piece with
the vessel, so that the distinction of crater and stand is only theoretical.
Two of the forms here represented are of Greek origin; viz., the
"crater with volute handles" {British Museum Catalogue of Vases,
Vol. Ill, p. 15, fig. 11) and the "calyx crater" (ib. p. 14, fig. 9). See
Smith, Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, s. v. crater.
115a. (24268) Pail
The vessel without ornament. The single bail has a suspension ring and
ends in heads of aquatic birds. Attachments in the form of a palmette bearing
a female mask and flanked by animals' heads.
Naples 68859.
116. (24086) Volute-handled Crater and Stand
The circular plate which forms the top of the stand is ornamented on its
convex edge with godroons. The vase itself is without ornament. The lower
attachments of the volute handles end in heads of aquatic birds.
Naples 73143-
117. (24040) Calyx Crater and Stand
Around the lip bead and egg patterns. Below these, on the Lesbian cyma,
a pattern of leaves and lotuses — a modification of the Greek leaf-and-dart.
The lower part of the vessel is godrooned. Above this is a modification of the
Greek palmette-and-lotus pattern, the palmette being replaced by a nondescript
flower. Each of the two handles is ornamented with a simple scroll of leaves
and flowers, and has at each attachment a pair of leaves and a bearded mask
(Silenus ?). On the foot a modification of the leaf-and-dart similar to that above.
The uppermost member of the stand is edged with a floral scroll. Farther
down another and different variation of the leaf-and-dart, flutings, and modi-
fied leaf-and-dart again. Square base with four feet, each having the form
above of a winged Silenus and passing below into a lion's paw.
Naples 73103. Pompeii. Mus. Borb. II, xxxn; Overbeck, Pompeii, Fig. 248; Mau-Kelsey,

inlay in the ornaments.
118. (24064) Calyx Crater and Stand
Both crater and stand are without ornamental patterns. The attachments
of the handles bear winged, female heads, probably representing Medusa, with
knotted snakes ( ?) below the neck. The base is square. The claw feet, resting
on molded pedestals, are attached to the base by sphinxes, each split in two to
fit the corner.
Naples 73099.
119. (24065) Calyx Crater and Stand
The lip of the vessel has bead and egg patterns. The lower part is godrooned.
The attachments of the fluted handles bear masks of Silenus. The stand con-
sists of a square base without the additional member present in the previous
examples. The attachments of the claw feet have palmette ornaments.

120. (24042) Calyx Crater and Stand
Neither vessel nor stand is ornamented. The attachments of the handles
bear masks of Medusa. The square base has claw feet.
Naples 73104.
121. (24041) Calyx Crater and Stand
The traditional Greek calyx crater is here modified as regards the form of
the handles. These are meaninglessly coiled, and are attached to the lip as
as well as to the lower part of the vessel. At the upper attachments are groups
of three acanthus leaves. The lower attachments bear ornaments of leaves.
Between the attachments on each side is a mask of a marine goddess. The
plain stand has a square base with claw feet.

Bosco Reale, now in Berlin (Jahrb. des arch. Instituts, Anzeiger, 1900, p. 182, Fig. 8) closely resembles
the present one except as regards the handles, which in the former specimen have the traditional
form. For the mask of a marine goddess, by some called a marine Medusa, see Engelmann,
Archdologische Zeitung, 1884, p. 27; Brit. Mus. Catalogue of Bronzes, No. 974.
122. (24066) Crater and Stand
The bowl has an approximately semi-elliptical profile. Around it, near
the top, run several bands of ornament, The broadest band consists of a series
of lozenges and oval figures, each oval bearing an identical pattern. Above and
below this band come bead pattern and a guilloche. The two handles are
placed near the top of the vessel. Each consists of two statuettes of barbarians,
probably Germans, in combat. They have long hair and beards, are naked
to the waist, wear tight-fitting trousers, and are barefoot. Around the neck
they wear a collar or necklace. Their weapons are short swords or daggers,
which they are apparently in the act of drawing from the scabbards. On
their extended left arms are long, narrow shields. The two combatants stand
on a ledge whose attachment is ornamented on its face with two shields, similar
to those above, and with two crossed spears, and ends below in an ox-skull.
On the foot of the crater and again on the stand are ornaments of lozenges and
ovals similar to the one above. The lowest member of the stand is circular.
The three claw feet rest on molded pedestals.

The three following wide-mouthed vessels may possibly have
served as craters.
123. (24267) Vessel without Handles
Encircling the upper part of the vessel are a guilloche and a modification
of the Greek leaf-and-dart, both edged with fine bead patterns. These bands
are interrupted, on opposite sides, by elaborate patterns, each consisting of
twisted stems, leaves and flowers, and a palmette. Three plain feet.

AMPHORAS
An amphora is a jar with two vertical handles on opposite sides
of the neck. Such jars were commonly used for the storage of wine
and other products. The three large amphoras, Nos. 126-128, are of
the same type, having each an extra pair of vertical handles attached
to the lower part of the body. Nos. 129-134, tall and slender and
without ornament except on the handles, are of a type represented
by numerous specimens in Naples and elsewhere. Nos. 135-137 are
less slender. 138-140 have globular bodies and wide mouths.
126. (24085) Four-handled Amphora
No ornament on the vessel except two raised bands near the top. Below
the lower attachment of one of the upper handles is a mask of a female satyr,
crowned with ivy leaves and berries. The corresponding mask is missing
from the other side.

128. (24022) Four-handled Amphora
On the Lesbian cyma of the foot is a leaf-and-flower pattern. Each of the
upper handles has on the back a spray of laurel leaves and berries; the upper
attachment ends in two goats' heads, the lower in a bust of Apollo, with a
swan below. The lower handles terminate above and below in birds' heads.

EWERS
The following vessels, each with a round mouth and a single
upright handle, were probably used for holding and pouring water.
Nos. 144 — 149 are of substantially the same shape; their handles also
are of the same general form, are attached at the rim with bird's-
head attachments, and have each a thumb-rest and a transverse
band. Nos. 150-158 are of varying shapes.
144. (24201) Ewer
On the back of the handle a scroll of leaves and flowers with edging of
bead pattern. The transverse band, apparently of copper, consists of two
rows of small leaves set base to base, with an astragal between them. Thumb-
rest in the form of a recurved leaf. The lower attachment bears a mask of a
marine goddess, with a notched growth on her cheeks, sea-monsters in her
hair, and similar monsters under her chin.

resting his right hand on his head and holding up his drapery with his left
hand. He has a chain about his neck and shoes on his feet. Wings, which
do not ordinarily belong to a hermaphrodite in Greek and Roman art, are
added to serve as attachments for the handle. Under the hermaphrodite's
feet is a pedestal and below that the lower attachment, representing a bust of
Cupid clasping a duck to his breast. At the back of the hermaphrodite, between
his wings, is a female bust on a smaller scale, facing in the opposite direction.

god Bacchus, holding in his right hand a drinking-cup (cantharus) upside down
above a leaping panther and resting his left arm about the neck of a satyr, who
carries a thyrsus. At the top of the handle is a projection, modeled as a finger
and extending nearly to the middle of the mouth of the vessel.

SMALL PITCHERS AND THE LIKE
These small one-handled vessels were probably used for various
purposes in the kitchen and the dining-room. Some may have been
for wine, others for water, others for oil. Thus, the small necks and
narrow, trough-like spouts of Nos. 168-174 suggest that they were
intended to hold oil (Overbeck, Pompeii, p. 446). For the sake of
distinction Nos. 175-180, characterized by round mouths, are called
"jugs" in this catalogue. Nos. 181-185, here called "pouch-shaped
pitchers," have a form suggested by that of a skin bottle. On these
see Pernice, Jahrb. des arch. Instituts, Anzeiger, 1900, p. 185.

OVAL BOWLS
Nos. 197-200, though of widely varying size, are of the same
type. The shape is oval, one end being more pointed than the
other. Around the edge is a flange, broader at the rounded end than
at the other and apparently intended for tilting the dish. On each
side is a hinged handle. Nos. 201, 202 are similar in shape to the pre-
ceding, but have a single, rigid handle, attached at the broader end
and the two sides of the dish. These bowls were probably for holding
some article of food, which was to be poured out from the end.
197. (24035) Oval Bowl
On the attachment of each handle are two reclining figures of nude boys,
probably young satyrs, with one hand on the head and the other grasping the
neck of a wine-skin. Between the two boys is an ape-like face, surmounted by
a floral knob.

FRUIT DISHES (?)
Dishes of the type of Nos. 203-205, fluted in imitation of a shell,
exist in considerable numbers both in silver and in bronze. They
have been commonly called pastry molds, but have been more plaus-
ibly explained as fruit dishes. (Pernice, Jahrb. des arch. Instituts,

STRAINERS
Strainers were used in cooking and also for straining wine and
other liquids. The perforations were often arranged in. artistic
patterns. Smith, Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, s. v.
colum; Overbeck, Pompeii, p. 445 ; Bliimner, Kunstgewerbe im
Altertum II, pp. 104 ff.
207. (24188) Strainer
This strainer is bowl-shaped, with two lateral fixed handles. The perfora-
tions form in the center a rosette, around this a guilloche, and above this a
band of scrolls.

208. (24192) Strainer
This strainer is bowl-shaped. If there were handles, they are now missing.
In the center is a relief representing a seated female figure (Venus ?), apparently
about to chastise a hovering Cupid, whose right wrist she grasps with her left
hand, while in her raised right hand she holds something which looks like a
doubled cord (sandal?). The perforations are arranged in concentric rings.
On the upper margin of the bowl, on the outside, is an egg pattern.
Naples 77609.
209. (24180) Strainer
This strainer has the form of a deep bowl, with a long, flat handle of one
piece with the bowl. The perforations form a central rosette and two sur-
rounding bands of leaves, with a pair of concentric rings between each two
patterns and at the top.
Naples 77610.
210. (24186) Cooking Utensil
This object has the form of a deep bowl with a short, flat handle of one
piece with the bowl. Near the end of the handle is a hole for suspension. In
the bowl, under the handle, is an irregular group of perforations.
Naples 73230.
SAUCEPANS
Shallow pans, such as Nos. 211-216, were used for cooking and
probably sometimes also for serving. Deeper vessels, such as Nos.
134 Field Museum of Natural History — Anth., Vol. VII.

Jahrb. des arch. Instituts, Anzeiger, 1900, pp. 191, 192.
211. (24036) Saucepan
In the center a mask (Medusa?), encircled by a gilt band. On the outside
an incised rectilinear pattern ending above in a series of points. The fluted
handle ends in a ram's head.
Naples 73455- As the mouth of Medusa is slightly open, this dish could hardly have been used
for cooking or serving anything liquid.
212. (24026) Saucepan
In the center a rosette, encircled by a pattern of tendrils and leaves, a bead
pattern and a guilloche ( ?) between bead patterns. On the edge a bead pattern.

attachment of the handle are two masks.
Naples 73438.
214. (24030) Saucepan
In the center a raised medallion, on which is a relief of a kneeling warrior
wearing a chiton ( ?) and armed with cuirass, helmet, shield and dagger.
Around the medallion concentric bands of ornament — egg, palmette-and-
lotus, herring-bone, and a sort of leaf pattern, the margins of the leaves appear-
ing in relief on the inside and in intaglio on the outside. On the lip, bead and
egg patterns. The handle is composed of two conventionalized plant stems,
banded together at the middle, with a mask (Medusa?) at the inner end; the
attachments have the form of dolphins, each with a spirally grooved object in
its mouth.

KETTLES
The four following vessels are cooking pots of similar shape, but
varying size. Each has a cover attached by a chain to the bail. The
first two have no base; the third has a flat bottom; the fourth,
a base-ring. All four, when in use for cooking, must have been set
on low trivets over a charcoal fire.

explanation of it as a baking pan for small cakes is due to Professor Mau.
230. (24181) Dipper
Each end of the long handle takes the form of a bird's head. The part of
the handle intended to be grasped by the hand is flat, with concave edges;
the rest is cylindrical. The bird's head next to the bowl holds in its bill a stout
wire, which is loosely fastened around the neck of the bowl, the two ends being
interlocked.

the middle a pendent palmette.
Naples (?). Mus. Borb. IV, xxvn, 9, 10; Overbeck, Pompeii, Fig. 226.
244. (24169) Dry Measure
The plain, cylindrical vessel has two lateral, fixed handles. Within is a
central upright rod, supporting a three-armed brace.
Naples 74601. A similar, but smaller, measure from Herculaneum in the Naples Museum
(No. 74600) bears the inscription (C /. L. X, 8067, 4) :
D- D- P- P
HERC
i. e., D(ecreto) d(ecurionum) p(ecunia) p(ublica) Herc(ulanenses) , showing that the measure was an
officially certified standard.
BALANCE AND WEIGHTS
The equal-armed balance is the earliest contrivance for weighing.
The example here shown is small and of the simplest construction,
being without a tongue to indicate the exact equivalence of the weight
in one scale with the article in the other. Some of the weights bear
witness that much larger balances were also in use. Smith, Dictionary
of Greek and Roman Antiquities, s. v. libra; Baumeister, Denkmaler ,
s. v. Wage.

245. ( — *- ,) Balance and Weights
2 2, 3
The pans are bowl-shaped; the chains missing.
Naples 116438. Pompeii. Not. d. Scavi, 1887, pp. 413, 414. The original series of weights
consists of seven pieces, five square and two round. The square weights bear each a Greek letter,
standing for the numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, 10. Of the round weights one has a single dot inlaid in silver,
while the other has two such dots. As this balance was found associated with surgical instru-
ments, it was probably used for weighing drugs.
(p 246-251. (24126, 24132, 24137, 24139, 24151, 24153) Six Weights
Each weight represents a reclining goat on a rectangular pedestal.
Naples 74308-74313, Pompeii. Fiorelli, Scavi di Pompeii dal 186 1 al 1872, p. 90. Fiorelh
suggests that these weights were used in selling goat's milk (?). On the ends of the pedestals are

the inscriptions (C. I, L. X, 8067, 14): PI, P II. PHI, P IIII, P V, P X, signifying that the
weights are 1. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 lbs. respectively. The two-pound weight has also the inscription :
P- STALLI- FELIC, giving the name of the maker (?) as Publius Stallius Felix. [In the series
of facsimiles in Chicago the two-pound weight is omitted and the five-pound weight duplicated.]
7 252-255. (24123-24125, 24127) Four Weights
One weight, which is in the form of a sow, is hollow, having originally been
filled with lead. Two others represent knuckle-bones. The fourth may
represent a cheese; its handle is in the form of two thumbs.
Naples 74390-74393. On one side of the sow are the letters (C. I. L. X, 8067, 88): P C
(i. e. pondera centum), signifying that the weight is 100 lbs.
STEELYARDS AND THE LIKE
The steelyard, a less ancient instrument than the equal-armed
balance, was in common use among the Romans. It regularly
consists of (1) a graduated beam or yard; (2) a hanging weight,
which may be moved along the beam; (3) a suspension hook, or
commonly two alternative hooks on opposite sides of the beam; and
(4) a pan, attached by four chains to the end of the beam, or in place
of the pan, a hook or hooks, for supporting the article to be weighed.
Smith, Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, s. v. statera (with
incorrect explanation of the two suspension-hooks and double grad-
uation) ; Baumeister, Denkmdler, s. v. Wage; Overbeck, Pompeii,
pp. 447, 448.
N. B. In these reproductions the weights are sometimes too
light or too heavy.
256. (24131) Steelyard
Weight in the form of the bust of a warrior, wearing cuirass and helmet.
On the cuirass a mask of Medusa. On each side of the crested helmet a bull
in relief.
When suspended as at present this steelyard can weigh up to twelve pounds,
the numbers 1-5 and 10 being indicated by the regular signs (I, II, III, IIII,
V, X) and the remaining numbers by single marks, with S (i. e., semis, y£) at
the half-way points. When suspended by the other hook it can weigh from
ten to forty pounds, the regular signs, (X, XX, XXX, XXXX) being used for
ten and its multiples, and the half-way points marked by a V.
Naples 74056. Stabiae. Mus. Borb. I, lv, i. On the flat part of the beam is an inscription
(C. / L. X, 8067. 3). as follows:
IMP- VESP- AVG- ITX-

EX ACTA- IN- CAPITO
Imp(eratore) Vesp(asiano) Aug(usto) II X T(ito) imp(eratore) Aug(usti) f(ilio) VI co(n)s(ulibus),
exacta in Capito(lio). This signifies that in the year 77 A. D. this steelyard was tested by com-
parison with standard weights preserved on the Capitoline hill at Rome.
257. (24128) Steelyard
Weight in the form of the bust of a boy.
When suspended as at present, this steelyard can weigh up to fourteen

pounds, the signs being, I, II, III, IIII, V, VI, VII, VIII, Villi, X, I, II, III,
IIII, with S, the sign for %, at the half-way points. When suspended by the
other hook, it can weigh from thirteen to fifty pounds, the signs reading XIII,
V, XX, V, XXX, V, XXXX, V.
Naples 74039. Herculaneum. On the flat part of the beam is an inscription (C. /. L. X,
8067, 2), as follows:
TI- CLAUD CAES //// VITEL-
III- COS- EX ACTA AD- ARTIC-
CVRA- AEDIL
Ti(berio) Claud(,io) Caes(are) ViteKJio) III co{n)s(ulibus), exacta ad Artic(uleiana),
cura aedil(ium). The Articuleiana were standard weights deposited in Rome in the year 47 A. D.
by the aediles, Articuleius and his colleague. The present steelyard had been tested by com-
parison with these weights.
258. (24138) Steelyard
Weight in the form of a bust of Mercury, wearing on his head an ivy wreath,
fastened behind by ribbons, and a winged hat. The four chains by which the
pan is suspended are attached to the bent necks of swans, whose flattened
bodies are soldered to the under side of the pan. There are, as usual, two sets
of graduation marks and numerals.
Naples 74066 (?).
259. (24130) Steelyard
Weight in the form of a female bust. When suspended as at present, this
steelyard can weigh up to eight pounds, the signs being I, II, III, IIII, V,
VI, VII, VIII. When suspended by the other hook it can weigh from ten to
thirty-three pounds, the tens being marked by the signs X, XX, XXX, the
fives by a V, and the other pounds by single upright lines.
Naples 74069.
260. (24122) Steelyard
Weight in the form of a female bust, the head ivy-crowned and covered with
a cloth, the right arm bent upward so that the fore-finger touches the cheek.
In place of the more usual pan this instrument has two hooks for holding the
object to be weighed.
When suspended as at present, this steelyard can weigh up to twelve pounds,
the first ten numbers being indicated by the usual numerals and the last two
by single upright marks. When suspended by the other hook it can weigh
from thirteen to forty-six pounds, the signs reading XIII, XX, V, XXX, V,
XXXX, V, I.
Naples 1 1 7693. Pompeii, Not. d. Scavi, 1888, p. 524.
261. (24129) Balance
This instrument combines the principle of the equal-armed balance with
that of the steelyard. One arm of the balance is graduated, and along this
arm slides a small weight in the form of an acorn.
Naples 74060. Mus. Borb. I, lv, 3.
262. (24025) Vessel for Weighing Liquids
The flat handle, of one piece with the bowl, has a slot, alongside of which is
a graduated scale. A hook, which could be supported by the finger or other-
wise, is connected by a chain and ring to a guard, which slides in the slot.
There must originally have been a weight attached to the ring at the ehd of
the handle.
