2011. B 18 in B.M.: cf. also the fragment from Naukratis, B 10317.
2012. This principle in its most developed form may be observed on the Chalcidian and Tyrrhenian amphorae: see Vol. I. p. 321 ff.
2013. B.M. B 147.
2014. Ibid. B 313.

2017. Cf. B.M. E 164 ff.
2018. See Winter, Jüngere Attische Vasen, p. 69; Röm. Mitth. 1897, p. 102; also Plate XLV.
2019. This subject has hitherto received little or no general scientific treatment from archaeologists. Riegl’s Stilfragen (1893) contains an interesting study of vegetable ornament on Greek vases; but the plates of Brunn and Lau’s Gr. Vasen, though intended to illustrate the system of ornamentation, are not very instructive.
2020. For the various types of these patterns see Vol. I. p. 416, Fig. 102.
2021. This is also found on a B.F. vase in the British Museum (B 330): see Hartwig, Meistersch. p. 220; also B.M. E 84; Thiersch, Hell. Vasen, pl. 5; Arch. Zeit. 1873, pl. 9.
2022. The Pamphaios hydria in the British Museum (B 300) has bits of red-on-black maeander down the sides of the design on the shoulder.
2023. See examples from Cyprus and Rhodes in Cases 24, 25, 28, Second Vase Room, B.M.
2024. E.g. B.M. B 205, 474, 476, 620, D 15, E 151, F 178.
2025. It appears, however, to be of Mycenaean origin: cf. the B.M. vases A 253, 323, 324, and Excavations in Cyprus, p. 6, fig. 6, from Ialysos and Cyprus, decorated in this fashion with vertical concentric circles.
2026. Riegl, p. 155.
2027. E.g. B.M. B 209, B 210.
2028. E.g. B.M. E 564.
2029. For its use on a B.F. kylix see B.M. B 382 (probably Ionic work).
2030. Munich 810, 849 = Brunn-Lau, Gr. Vasen, pls. 35–6: cf. B.M. F 278.
2031. Examples may be seen in Plates XXIII., XXVIII.-XXXIII.
2032. B.M. B 148–49, 151, 153; J.H.S. xix. p. 163.
2033. E.g. B.M. B 212, B 593, B 677, B 679: see also Jahrbuch, 1899, p. 161.
2034. See Bull. de Corr. Hell. 1898, p. 298.
2035. E.g. B.M. B 63 (Plate LVIII.).
2036. E.g. B.M. B 364.
2037. As on the Python krater, B.M. F 149.
2038. See Jahrbuch, 1895, p. 44, note 15.
2039. Stilfragen, passim, especially p. 48 ff. and p. 178.
2040. See Riegl, p. 115 ff., and Houssay in Rev. Arch. xxx. (1897), p. 91 ff.
2041. For the Egyptian types of lotos-flower and bud see Riegl, p. 48 ff.
2042. Riegl, p. 155: see also an early Boeotian example in the B.M. (A 564 = Riegl, p. 173).
2043. Thiersch, Tyrrhen. Amphoren, p. 70, points out that the form of lotos-flower with two large points is Peloponnesian (Corinthian, etc.) and Ionic; the form found in Attic, Boeotian, and Proto-Corinthian fabrics has three principal points.
2044. See generally Riegl, p. 155 ff.
2045. E.g. B.M. E 169.
2046. The varieties of this pattern should be carefully distinguished. Corinthian vases have a composition of lotos-flowers only; Chalcidian, palmettes only (cf. Vienna 219; B.M. B 34). In the “Tyrrhenian” amphorae, and subsequently in Attic red-bodied amphorae, the two principles are seen to be united, and palmettes alternate with lotos-flowers. See also Fig. 161.
2047. Cf. also an elegant oinochoë with white ground in the British Museum (B 631). On a similar jug at Munich (334 = Brunn-Lau, Gr. Vasen, pl. 22) the palmettes are enclosed in heart-shaped borders. For other vases which, like these, have palmettes for their sole decoration, see British Museum, Second Vase Room, Case 28, and Laborde, Vases de Lamberg, ii. pl. 41.
