Attic Black-Figure Nikosthenic Amphora with Boxers, about 520 BC. Storage Jar with Boxers. Additional Info: On the neck of this black-figure Nikosthenic amphora, two boxers face each other with a tripod between them, presumably the prize in their contest. Lower on the vase, a youth sits between a pair of large eyes, grabbing the eyebrows. Eyes were a popular decoration on Athenian vases, especially from around 530 to 510 BC, and this is a playful variant on that tradition.
