Attic Red-Figure Lekythos (Front)

Red-figure lekythos with Artemis shooting a bow to the right. She wears a long chiton tied at the waist and leaving her right shoulder bare and her right breast partially exposed. The garment has a patterned border which runs down its right side. A fillet encirlcles her head, and her unbound hair falls down her back in curled locks. She draws an arrow with her right hand, and holds a bow and two spare arrows in her left. The top of her quiver is visible over her right shoulder. She stands on a meander border with her left foot forward in profile and her right foreshortened. The same meander pattern with alternating dotted crosses runs above. The neck of the lekythos is decorated with palmettes and tendrils below a tongue pattern.
