Attic Black-Figure Amphora Type B
Side A: At center a duel of hoplites similarly armed with low-crested Corinthian helmets, spears, round shields, and greaves. The blazon on the visible shield is a chariot box. Between the legs of the hoplites, a small bird (in silhouette) flies to the right. Flanking the warriors are two youths dressed in himatia. Side B: Hoplite standing between two youths (perhaps a warrior leaving home?). The hoplite wears a low-crested Corinthian helmet and greaves. He holds two spears horizontally and a shield (blazon: three balls). The youths flanking him are identical to the figures on the obverse.
