Fairbanks, A. Athenian lekythoi with outline drawing in matt color on a white ground. 1914. (Michigan. Univ. Studies. Humanistic ser. no. 7.) Ref. 738

By the director of the Museum of fine arts in Boston. Brings the author's study of the white lecythi of the fifth century B. C. to a conclusion. They were used, more than any other class of vases, in connection with the rites of burial, and they came to be decorated almost exclusively with scenes relating to death and the worship of the dead. Thus, like the sculptured grave-monuments, they reveal the great ideal of gentleness and restraint in the presence of death.-Class. J.
