Description
Bibliography

Lekythos decorated in the black-figure technique. It was found incomplete in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe.

On the vase’s body a charioteer is depicted. He drives a quadriga dressed in a long white chiton. On a second level, behind the horses, are scattered white dots and the post serving as a turning point for the chariots is depicted. A meander zone defines the upper part of the scene and a triple line its bottom. The vessel’s shoulder is decorated with short lines and rays.
