  • CAVI Collection: Edinburgh, Royal Scottish Museum 1956.477.
  • CAVI Lemma: RF pyxis with lid. Unattributed. Later fourth (?). Late fifth or early fourth (CVA){1}.
  • CAVI Subject: On the lid: RF chest with an open lid, in perspective.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: On the bottom of the pyxis and on the underside of the lid, Grr.: NϹ.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} early fourth (Johnston).
  • CAVI Comments: Lunate sigma should not occur until later in the fourth century (see AttScr (1990), 160): the pyxis may be dated too early in CVA; the drawing of the chest also suggests a later date to me. The marks make it possible to place the right lid on the pyxis; see Johnston (1979), subs. list 4.
