Image description

diameter: 37 cm. The main scene shows five women filling their water jars (hydriae) at a fountain house (krene), from four lion headed and one donkey headed spouts. The women are unusually dressed up for such an errand: they wear elegant dresses, head coverings and jewelry. Reeds trail from architrave of fountain-house, marking the setting as rather damp. The fountain house is of the Doric architectural order: the columns have no bases, and the capital is made of two sections, the cushion, or echinus, and the square top, the abacus. There also appears to be a frieze of metopes above. The shoulder of the vessel depicts a four-horse (quadriga) race. The charioteers wear their typical garment, which is a long shift dress. They hold the reins and a stick used to goad the horses to run faster.
