Description
Bibliography

Lekythos decorated in the black-figure technique. It was found in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe, in two fragments and was mended.

On the vase’s body a female charioteer mounts a chariot pulled by two horses. Next to the chariot two figures are standing, with one of them turning her head to look behind her. In front of the horses a third woman seats on a stool. A triple band with dots frames the upper part of the depiction, while the vase’s shoulder is covered with a double row of dots and rays.
