from the land of the Hyperboreans. Standing in a chariot drawn by
winged horses are Apollo with his kithata and two female figures, probably
the Hyperborean Maidens.
Apollo is welcomed by his sister Artemis, who is holding a deer.
On the neck, two heroes, probably Achilles and Memnon, engaged
in homeric combat.
