A, chariot team to left and Nike (victor at the Panathenaia). The charioteer (head, part of arms missing), dressed in a long chiton, leans forward, holding the reins in both hands as well as a goad in his right. Most of the chariot is missing, also parts of the horses, chiefly their muzzles and foreparts. The outstretched position of their hind legs and tails makes clear that they are galloping. On the right-hand side of the team, Nike, dressed in a long chiton with a sakkos on her head, flies toward the victor, holding out a Panathenaic amphora. Above, a chain of upright lotuses and encircled palmettes; below, stopped-maeander pattern with saltire-squares. B, king and Nike. The goddess, dressed in a long chiton with a himation over it, stands to right, holding a phiale in her outstretched right hand. Most of her face, the lower part of her body and legs, and a bit of her wings are missing. The king faces her, wearing a himation, and he holds a scepter in his outstretched right hand. Part of his body and his lower legs are lost. Above, a zone of diagonally addorsed palmettes; below, maeander pattern (part of one unit). On side of mouth, ivy (reserved) with berries. Around the root of each handle, tongue pattern. Relief contour on Side A. White (flaked): stems and berries of ivy vine.

For the ivy on the mouth of a one-piece amphora, see the one in Kos (RM 93, 1986, pl. 40; JdI 102, 1987, p. 117, fig. 39; Hayashi, Triptolemosbildes, pl. 7); also 12.
