Lot Essay

One side of this amphora is centered by Apollo playing his kithara, with his sister Artemis standing before him, their mother Leto standing behind and Hermes seated at the far right. For the subject compare two other Attic black-figured amphorae, nos. 1142-1143 in L. Kahil, “Artemis,” in LIMC, vol. II. On the other side, a bearded charioteer driving a quadriga to the right over a collapsing warrior.
