The Nereid riding a hippocamp represents Thetis, the sea-nymph and mother of Achilles, who carried new armour to her son during the Trojan war. The cobalt blue glass intaglio depicts another well known myth - Europa clinging to the bull. For the type see inv. no 1814,0704.2758 in the British Museum. The profile head of Athena shows her wearing a fine helmet ornamented with the figure of Scylla raising her right hand in the gesture of aposkopein.
