Content (description)
Bn 10. 50 shows the vase, a large kalix krater with a high foot, standing on a base, on which is an illegible inscrioption, and, on right, a detail of three figures from the relief decoration. The other figures are shown in Bn. 10. 49. In the main scene a half-draped female sits at the foot of a pedestal, on which stands the statue of a draped female holding a bow; both female and statue face right. On right are four figures: a half-draped warrior with a tall plumed helmet stands looking at the statue and points to himself; next a bearded draped warrior stands with his right foot raised on a pedestal and leans his elbow on his knee, holding a spear and looking to left; third is a draped bearded man with his head covered, who stands leaning on his spear and points left; the fourth man is nude and bearded, and stands to right with his legs crossed, his hand clenched behind his back.
Bn 10. 50: On left of centre are three youths facing right: a nude helmetted warrior, with his left foot raised on a round pedestal and leaning on a spear; next a youth wearing a cloak moves right and looks at the spectator; on far left a draped youth stands and leans on a staff.
