The image shows a Classical Greek vase, possibly an unguentarium, used to hold oil for athletes. It is terracotta with black decoration, a typical color scheme of the period. The vase is ovoid in shape, sitting on a small footed base, and flares at the top to form a bulbous neck and a small stopper at the top.

The vase is decorated with a frieze of black figures against the red background of the terracotta. The figures are highly stylized, representing humans or mythological figures, possibly riding animals or in procession.

The vase is displayed against a neutral background with diffused lighting. The item has some imperfections, suggesting that it is an antique or a reproduction made to appear old.
