This vase depicts a scene from a centauromachy, showing a hoplite soldier on one knee, thrusting the point of his spear into his opponent's mid-section. The centaur, rearing up on hind legs and armed with a large fir tree branch, takes hold of the hoplite by his helmet's high crest. Five nonsense letters are scattered in upper field. For a similar lekythos by the Athena Painter, with the same subject, see the white-ground example in the Museo Nacional de Belles Artes, Havana, inv. no 141 (J. D. Beazley, Attic Black-Figure Vase-Painters, Oxford, 1956, p. 523, no. 7, Beazley Pottery Database no: 330755).
