Document source description
This red-figure lekythos depicts Nike. She flies to the right, with arms outstretched, holding a phiale in her right hand, an oval shaped object (possibly a fruit or egg) in her left. Below on the right is an altar with fire on which she pours liquid from the phiale. She wears a chiton, mantle, disc earing, and serpentine bracelets. Ribbons hold her hair in place. Red dots fill much of the picture field; a few to the left of the altar appear to be letters of a nonsense inscription.
