Calyx-Krater with Driver, Chariot, and Three Horses
(Ancient Greece )
This red-figure calyx-krater depicts Nike on the front driving in a triga to the right. She holds the reins in her outstretched hands, as well as a goad in her left. She wears a peplos, bracelets, and diadem. Above the right handle hangs the lower half of a shield.
On the back are three mantled youths, two to the right and one to the left.
