Scope and Content An ink illustration of part of a vase, showing at the bottom a relief of a horse drawn chariot with two men in armour and above is a battle scene, of which we can see three men fighting and one lying on the ground. some parts of the image that do not survive have been imagined with dotted lines. The number 155 is pasted in the lower left corner. There are reinforced holes in corners and the centre of each edge. The original description in the catalogue reads: "A drawing of the fragment 154, with overlapping piece added from similar vase, acquired from near Sparta by the Cabinet des Medailles at Paris. The overlapping proves that these reliefs were made from moulds and then attached to the vase."
