CHAPTER V
150/189

The heads and necks of two horses, bridled and fully caparisoned, stand back to back on either side of the foot of the vase.

The body is divided into a series of horizontal zones, the middle zone being in the likeness of a marshland, with an antelope coursing at full speed among the reeds.

Two enamelled cruets (fig.

290) have elaborately wrought lids, one fashioned as the head of a plumed eagle, and the other as the head of the god Bes flanked by two vipers (fig.

291).
