APC Image: AK 1006: Black-figured amphora and hydria sherds. Top: Fragment of "amphora" (Aropolis I 759 a-e). Quadriga in front view. Fragment from the side. First quarter of the sixth century B.C. Bottom: Two fragments of hydria (Acropolis I 812 a-c). On the shoulder, a warrior; on the side, a race(?). The parallel lines running vertically downwards from the chain of lotus and palmette on the shoulder divide the scene into two panels. At the left, under the side handle, of which traces may be seen beside the cauldron of the tripod, is a group of rearing horses, probably part of quadriga. Between this scene and the one at the right a boy holds up a prise tripod, wreathed. At the right is the cruppper of a horse going to the right. Behind the horse a warrior armed with scaly cuirass, lance and Boeotian shield preceeds in the same direction. Presumably, the panel under the left handle is duplicated by a similar one on the opposite side of the vase, and the horse and warrior thus belong to a central metope. Ca. 560-550 B.C. Of the time of Lydos.
