Apollo and Herakles Fighting Over the Tripod

Description Herakles, on the left, is identified by his club and the lion skin knotted across his chest. He is shown attempting to carry off the Delphic tripod belonging to Apollo, who pursues him. The rigidly balanced composition and the positioning of the figures are Archaistic.
