Fragmentary stand of a terracotta lebes gamikos (round-bottomed bowl with handles and stand used in weddings)
Herakles and two figures
Herakles appears beardless here, giving him an unusually young aspect. He has his lion's skin and club, however. Of particular note is the elaborately patterned garment.
