Fragment from Black-Figure Neck-Amphora (Storage Vessel): Satyr and Horse

Black-figure Amphora · c. 520–510 BCE
This small fragment preserves part of a harnessing scene. At left is part of the muzzled head of a horse, guided by a red-bearded satyr wearing a wreath. Before him are the hands of a charioteer—perhaps Dionysos—holding reins and a goad, with a branch in the background. The unfinished interior identifies this as part of a closed vessel, likely a neck-amphora.
