On the front of this vessel, a warrior and his horse stand in a naiskos (tomb) surrounded by attendants with offerings; above them is the god Eros and on the handles male and female followers of the god Dionysos are depicted. On the back another naiskos (tomb) is decorated with large white figures. Since the krater is a funerary vessel, these figures may be symbolic representations of the dead or they may depict marble statues of the tomb’s occupants.
