Title:   Black Figure Hydria Fragments
Category:   Pottery
Description:   The rim and neck preserved, with about one-third of the shoulder, including most of the figured panel (broken away at the lower right). Attachment of vertical handle preserved at the back. Two non-joining fragments probably belong: b) a horizontal handle; reserved beneath and between attachment;. c) a wall fragment, with a trace of a handle attachment.
Traces of burning. The vase slightly dented in making. Neck glazed inside for ca. 0.034m.; below unglazed. Rim glazed, upper surface concave; a purple line at inner and outer edge. A purple line around the neck and another at the top of the panel. Panel framed above by plain maeander, at sides by dotted zigzag.
Scene: in the center, a quadriga, right; the bearded charioteer wears a long white chiton. In front of the horses, left, facing the charioteer, a warrior in full armor: greaves, shield, and high crested helmet. The shield, which conceals his upper body, has a white center. At the left of the panel, facing left, is a bearded archer in a short tunic, holding bow and quiver, and wearing the high-pointed "Scythian" cap. At the right of the panel, left, facing the horses, a second hoplite, the crest of his helmet only preserved. Below this panel, across the front only, a band of ivy leaves. Purple on horses' manes ears, and one tail; also for shield rim, charioteer's girdle, and archer's beard. Sketchy incision.
Good glaze.
