Description: | A shoulder lekythos with missing neck and lip. Faint traces of a thin red/brown reserved band around the base of the neck and again at the outer edge of the shoulder. The handle rises from the base of the neck to just above the shoulder's edge and is painted in black on the exterior. The faded decoration of the shoulder features two black figure males in humation, each facing towards a central palmette with two rings below. Below, on the first half of the main body, the faded black decoration features a central soldier in helmet facing left, his body hidden behind a large round shield, with a spear protruding from behind it left. Facing him stand two males in humation, each carrying a spear, to his right a single male similarly dressed faces his rear. A fourth male, possibly, having been worn away. A reserved band, with below it, the remainder of the main body and pedestal exterior painted black/brown. Slight traces of white paint on the interior of the pedestal. 1888 register claims object is of Greek origin
