A large wine jug with a trefoil mouth and volutes on either side of a three ribbed handle. The neck is decorated with a cable pattern and the single animal frieze is on the shoulder. It comprises a cental sphinx to the right with goats facing it on either side separated by triangles and surrounded by ring and dot rosettes and kite motifs. A broad band occupies the centre of the body, comprising a series of black squares containing black squares and separated by double vertical lines; above and below this are broad double black lines, separated and edged by narrow red lines. The lower part of the body is decorated with six lotus buds, alternatively open and closed.
One of a large corpus of similar Rhodian vessels in the Wild Goat Style, this piece is attributed by Kandara to the Arcadian School.
