Trefoil Oinochoe (wine pitcher): Two Warriors in Combat

Black-figure the Athena Painter · Oinochoe · c. 490-480 BCE
Warrior advances to the right, plunging his spear into a second warrior who falls to the right and looks back. Warriors carry a sword and wear a Corinthian helmet with a red wreath around it, a chitoniskos, greave and a cuirass. Both carry round shields with devices in added red: a tripod the victor's, three rings on the loser's.
