Class of Vatican G.47about 520–510 B.C.

The J. Paul Getty Museum

The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States

Three joined fragments preserve part of the shoulder and body of an oinochoe (shape 2).

Subject: Quadriga wheeling around to the right, with a warrior fleeing. In the upper left corner of the fragment, only the eye of a helmeted warrior riding in the chariot is preserved. Aside from the horses, little remains of the chariot: part of the chariot-box is visible at the left of the fragment, and portions of the axle and one wheel are preserved behind the legs of the left-hand pole horse and the left-hand trace horse. All four horses wear breastbands with pendant ornaments, and the right-hand trace horse has an additional strap below its breastband. To the right of the chariot, a warrior runs to right, and looks back. He is armed with a Corinthian helmet, cuirass and two baldrics.
