Three black-figured Boeotian vases of the second half of the 6th century B.C., long known but
unpublished, are examined. They are: alabastron no. 191, with two facing sirens; lekane no. 498,
with female head on the interior and a chain of lotus on the exterior; and lekane no. 494, with
scene of hounds chasing a hare into a net on the exterior and a bird on the interior.
The attribution of the first two pieces to Boeotian workshops is discussed, and of the third to a
possible Euboean once. Since the collection is formed prevalently of objects from Crete, and
another lekane is known to come from Knossos, a provenance of that island for the two lekanai
cannot be excluded.
