Attic Red-Figure Lekanis Lid Fragment

Fragment from of outer zone. Interior, black. Exterior, Gigantomachy (?). Woman standing with head turned slightly to left. Her legs, left arm, and top of her head are missing. She wears a girdled peplos, pinned in front, with straps over each shoulder and crossing at the abdomen. Her right arm is extended, the hand hidden by a curving narrow band, decorated with a running-dog motif that runs towards the center of the lid. At far right is an apparent double border of a similar pattern. Two spears cross the band at left to point at the woman's head.
The arcing lines may represent the dome of the sky; the spears could belong to a Giant; and the woman could be Selene in her chariot.
