A fragment of the mouth and neck of a black-figure volute-krater. It features a flared lip, reserved on the top. The inside of the neck is glazed, with a red line at the top and another one below. The side of the lip is reserved with a maeander to left between lines. The neck is divided into two sections, each reserved with figured decoration. The upper section, offset, is framed on both sides, next to the handle zones, by a sphinx and an apotropaic eye. Side A, upper frieze: to the left, next to the eye, two deities, Dionysos and Ariadne (or a maenad), each seated on a stool. Dionysos, bearded and wrapped in a himation, holds a kantharos and an ivy tendril. In the center, the struggle between Herakles and Antaios is flanked by two attendant goddesses: on the left, Athena, seated, the aegis extended; and on the right, Antaios' wife or his mother Gaia (the Earth). Behind her, Iolaos carries Herakles' club and spears. Herakles is depicted naked and unarmed, with his quiver and sword suspended above him. In the lower register, a war scene with hoplites and quadrigas marching to right. Among the soldiers, an archer dressed in a short tunic and Scythian cap, with a quiver hanging on his back from a baldric. Side B, upper frieze: four symposiasts recline on cushions. One examines the tondo of his cup, another plays the krotala, a third plays the aulos. To the left, in front of the apotropaic eye, two standing servants: a youth clad in a himation, holding a skyphos and a maid behind him. The lower register is quite lacunose, but it features the departure of heroic warriors, with quadrigae, one of which is escorted by Hermes, who is bearded and holds the caduceus. The frequent use of white and red paint is especially striking, highlighting the vestments and elements of armor, as well as the women's skin. This work belongs to the Golvol Group. The body of the vessel was likely painted solid black with rays at the base. Assembled from fragments. Restoration in toned plaster along cracks and to fill the lacunae.
