Wall fragment. Max. dim. 0.095.
Chariot team (necks of two horses, the left-hand pole horse and the left-hand trace horse) to left, driven by Nike (arm, a few feathers of right wing). Below her arm, a little of the reins and goad. White: left-hand trace horse; studs on breast band; Nike's flesh; reins and goad. Dilute glaze: drawing on white.
The composition may have been something like that on a Kerch-style bell-krater, Louvre G 527, which represents the Apotheosis of Herakles (Metzger, Représentations, pl. 48). This is probably the subject here on 505 (see 440).
