Vessel Fragment with Head of Poseidon
Although the vessel from which this fragment comes cannot be identified, it is clear that this sherd comes from the body and depicts an interaction of one or more deities. The bearded head in profile to the right appears to be Poseidon due to the triton immediately proceeding him. Traces of another figure appear on the right edge of the fragment.
