XXI.—INFANCY. TOYS.

At the end of Case J are four terracotta models of cradles (No. 585) with young children in them. One is a winged Eros, and one is swaddled. Beside the cradles are three cups (No. 586), with spouts shaped as mouth-pieces, which may be supposed to be for milk or pap. Here also are two clay rattles (No. 587), and a child's wooden clapper (No. 588).

Fig. 230.—Child in High Chair (No. 590).

A set of small trefoil-lipped jugs (No. 589) is painted with designs closely connected with child life. Children are shown playing with jugs of this type, with animals and toy carts, or other objects. It is probable that these jugs were given to Athenian children on the festival day of the wine god Dionysos, which went by the name of Χόες ("Jugs"). Note No. 590 (fig. 230), with a child confined in a turret-shaped high chair, and No. 591 (fig. 231), with two children with draw-carts, each holding a jug.
