Panathenaic amphora by the Matros Painter. It contained the oil won as the prize in the Panathenaic games. One side depicts Athena Promachos flanked by Doric columns with cockerels on them, and an inscription indicating “The Prize from Athens”. The side visible here depicts the reception of a jockey and his horse–probably the winner of an event at the games.
Exhibited at the Nafplion Archaeological Museum. Nafplion, Peloponnese, Greece.
