1. Silver Didrachm of Segesta (1997.9.128): Obverse: Hound stg.l; above shell, Reverse: Head of nymph Aigeste to r., hair in a sakkos [Text] [View with Perseus links] (2.28)

2. (in English) Amphora type, with sagging belly, / Ht.20.6; Diam.13.5 / Clay / Decorated: A - Woman,s head (possibly an Amazon or Aphrodite), her hair covered with a sakkos; an object beside the chin may be a vestigial remnant of a griffin,s head. B - Two conversing figures, heavily draped. Above and below the figures on each side of the vessel, borders consisting of bands and tongues. / Vases with similar decoration have been found at various sites, including Athens, Olynthus and southern Russia. The female head is usually interpreted as an Amazon or Aphrodite; in favour of the former view is the fact that it often appears in association with a horse,s and/or griffin,s head. The pelike is a type of amphora with a sagging belly. It appeared in Attic pottery in the last quarter of the 6th century BC, and continued through the red-figure period. It is quite common also in Southern Italy.{The Pelike is a vessel similar to an amphora, but widest in the lower half.} [Text] (0.88)

3. (in English) Small, trefoil-mouthed oinochoe. / Ht.8.3; Diam. 6.3 / Clay / A rust stain on the inside where an iron ring was lying when the vessel was excavated. Lip slightly chipped. / Decorated: On the belly, opposite the handle, a panel whose border consists of a vertical line at either side and wave pattern along the top. There is no border at the bottom. Inside the panel is a woman,s head, her hair in a sakkos. A bit of plant decoration in one corner of the panel. Under the handle a palmette, and a plant with volute leaves to either side. / In Greece proper such profile heads appear only occasionally and on small vases. In Italy, however, both large and small vessels are commonly decorated in this way, even craters and amphorae. It has been suggested that they could be a representation of Kore/Persephone or another deity. / Oinochoe means "wine-pourer", but vessels of this sort were no doubt general purpose jugs as well.
