Black-figure amphora

A god (?) is seated on a folding-stool. He is represented with head and legs in profile to the right, the body diagonally. Seated, he is almost as tall as the surrounding standing figures. The arms are extended horizontally, the left hand holding a staff. The god has a fringe and short-cropped hair, with a taenia. His dress consists of a chiton and a himation which covers the arms completely.

There are two figures at each side of the picture. At the right stand a goddess (?), the right arm extended obliquely upward, the left arm extended obliquely downward, the palms turned to each other and extended fingers, and a male, dressed in chiton and himation, holding a staff in the right hand. At the left side stand a goddess (?), the right arm extended obliquely downward, the left arm extended obliquely upward, the palms turned to each other with extended fingers, and male, dressed in chiton and himation, holding a staff in the left hand.
