Attic Black-Figure Oinochoe (Shape 1)
Fragmentary oinochoe with the foot and the lower part of one side, depicting Herakles and the Nemean Lion, preserved. Heracles wears a wreath and wrestles the lion to the ground. His extended right arm covers his face and grasps the lion's ribcage, his left arm is locked around the lion's neck. The lion's rear left leg is raised. The background contains a branched tree with dotted leaves. On the right, a partial inscription remains.
