Attic Black-Figure Amphora, 550-530 BC. Storage Jar with a Chariot Procession. Additional Info: Both sides of this vessel depict a male and female pair in a chariot, with Additional figures in attendance. Side A: a couple in a chariot, facing right. Side B: a couple in a chariot facing right. The bearded, wreathed male wears a himation and holds the reins, and the woman standing behind him is veiled. In front of the chariot are a woman and man facing right. Both are wreathed and the man plays a lyre. To the right, behind four horses, one white, is a woman facing left. In front of the horses is a taller female figure facing left and raising her right hand. In contrast to side A, it is not clear whether all or some of these figures are divine, although the lyre-player could be Apollo.
