description

Summary

This handle in the form of a nude male athlete was part of a metal "oinochoe," or jug, with a trefoil mouth, many of which were manufactured in the Peloponnese, renowned for its metallurgists. A nude male is holding the tails of two lionesses, which were attached on the lip of the vessel, while trampling a "gorgoneion," the head of the Medusa, who turned whoever looked at her face into stone. His domination over the lions suggests that he is a deity, perhaps the god Apollo.
