Terracotta lekythos (oil flask)
Attributed to the Dionysios Painter
Frontal chariot and dog
In shape and decoration, this work is heavily influenced by Attic models. The so-called Deianeira lekythos, with its elongated body, small mouth, and drip ring, represents an early Attic variety. The frontal quadriga began to be popular as well in the second quarter of the sixth century. Three names are painted in the panel, one for each horse and one additional (Dionysios).
