Attic Black-Figure Oinochoe Fragment

Three joined fragments preserve part of the shoulder and body of an oinochoe (shape 2).

Subject: Quadriga wheeling around to the right, with a warrior fleeing. In the upper left corner of the fragment, only the eye of a helmeted warrior riding in the chariot is preserved. Aside from the horses, little remains of the chariot: part of the chariot-box is visible at the left of the fragment, and portions of the axle and one wheel are preserved behind the legs of the left-hand pole horse and the left-hand trace horse. All four horses wear breastbands with pendant ornaments, and the right-hand trace horse has an additional strap below its breastband. To the right of the chariot, a warrior runs to right, and looks back. He is armed with a Corinthian helmet, cuirass and two baldrics.
