The calyx-krater with masks of Maenads on the handles was found in the small built tomb ‘Heuzey B’ on the east side of the necropolis of ancient Aigai (Vergina). The tomb belongs to the burial group Heuzey and is dated to the last decades of the 4th century BC based on archaeological evidence. The new crater from Vergina (krater ‘Heuzey’) complements the small group of bronze krater of the second half of the 4th century BC, which served as the urn (Urne). It seems no coincidence that all of the examples come from Macedonia, as shown by the excavations (Vergina-Aigai, Pydna) or the comparative study (Athens, ex White Collection).

The third article on sealings revealed at Pistiros in Bulgaria in 2012 analysis those linked directly to proper Greek models. Most of the items carry two imprints, apparently signatures of partners of document confirming a contract or deal, the archive of them kept with a “notary”. The archive of contracts was hidden in a vaulted oven to be protected at the time of fire destruction of the emporium at ca. 310 BC. The majority of subjects represented on the sealings discussed here show reflections of popular works of leading sculptors of the age; a smaller part reflects contemporary terracotta and bronze figurines of characters of Middle and Late Comedy and two Egyptiazing subjects might reflect the Ptolemaic domain in Thrace.
