Pottery: black-figured hydria. Designs in black on red panels, with borders of ivy down the sides; accessories of white and purple. 1. On the shoulder: Battle-scene: A quadriga at full speed to left; in it a warrior with visored helmet, two spears, and shield with device of a tripod. A warrior is fallen to left under the horses' feet, fully armed, with Boeotian shield, on which are two pellets. Behind him are two warriors to right defending him with spears, both fully armed; the first has an ivy-wreath as device on shield, the second a tripod. Behind the quadriga, are two fully-armed warriors in combat; the one on the left, with Boeotian shield, has beaten down the other on one knee and is about to transfix him with spear. 2. On the body: Marriage-procession: A quadriga to right in which are the bride and bridegroom (possibly Hera and Zeus), the former veiled in a himation, the latter bearded, in long chiton and striped himation, goad in right hand, reins in both. In advance of them, at further side of horses, is a beardless male figure (Apollo?) to right, with long hair, curls in front of his ears, embroidered chiton and striped himation, playing on the chelys. Facing him, also on further side of horses, is a female figure (Aphrodite?) with long tresses and long embroidered chiton, holding up a flower in right hand. In front of the horses is the proegetes (leader of the procession), or Hermes, to right, bearded, with long tresses, striped chlamys, petasos, endromides, and caduceus. 3.
