This vase shows the Greek hero Herakles fighting with an Amazon.⠀
.⠀
'For the ninth labour of Herakles, the hero was given the task of stealing a magical belt from Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons', says Claudio Corsi, our Antiquities specialist in London (@mrclaudiocorsi).⠀
.⠀
'Particularly impressive is the way in which the painter has managed to represent such a dynamic scene, with the Amazon still holding on to the horse’s bridles in a futile attempt of escaping the hero’s blow’.⠀

An Etruscan Red-Figured Calyx-Krater, c. 370 B.C. 14 ¾ in. (37.3 cm.) high. Estimate: £20,000-30,000.⠀
