    "description": "As female heads were a common motif on red-figure objects of this period, it is not surprising that those depicted on the \"kantharoi\" (drinking vessels) in this case and on this jug are similar. The women wear a richly patterned \"saccos,\" a head scarf which covers most of the hair.",
