Source Description
With so little preserved, the precise subject once shown on this vase remains uncertain. Along with Apollo playing his lyre, parts of the mane and reins of a horse remain, suggesting a chariot procession—perhaps for the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, an event attended by the Olympian gods.
