It is thevessel which the maidens took to the spring; filled with water; andthen bore home on their heads. It was carried, when empty in ahorizontal; and when full, in a vertical attitude. Of all vases: it isthe most perfect in form; its aim being so well expressed in its con-struction. It must be easy to carry, convenient to fill and empty,and to hold as much fluid as possible; it therefore has a verticalbody of the shape of an inverted egg (this form places the centi-eof gravity at the top, which facilitates transportation in a verticalattitude); on which a funnel-shaped neck is placed. It has throehandles: two are horizontal, diametrically opposite to each other at VASES. 321. The Font, and the Holy-Water Stoup. Plate 190.
