The Museo Nazionale in Naples houses this Attic red-figured bell-krater.
It depicts a mounted Amazon attacking two Greeks who fight on foot. The Amazon is brandishing her spear against one of the Greeks. She wears a finely patterned sleeved and trousered combination, and a turban-like cap.
Is she wearing camouflage? A fine weave? A dye pattern in spots?
