• AMAZON in Greek Armour:
‘Hidden’ Side B of Attic Red-figure Volute Krater by the Berlin Painter, 500-490 BC.
[ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Painter ]
Interestingly, this Amazon figure on reverse Side B is not quite observable due to the Krater position in the display box - what I managed to photograph [this time, 02|22] is its reflection in the back mirror panel of the box:
👉 Pic 1 - a fragment of ‘frontal’ Side A is visible and the reflection of Side B is mirrored.
👉 Pics 2 & 3 - the image is rotated the way it should appear normally.
👉 Pics 4 & 5 - Side A, Running Warrior [5 is a 01|2019 phonecam snap].
.
Side B.
- Neck : The ‘Palestra’ scene w/ athletes running and throwing javelins.
- Body : The figure of an Amazon in Attic helmet w/ lance, shield.
.
Side A.
- Neck : The representation of Herakles fighting Cycnos, Son of Ares, God of War, in the presence of Athena, Ares.
- Body : The figure of a Running Warrior wearing Corinthian helmet and greaves, armed with a long lance, shield.
