Attic Red-Figure: Early Classic and Classic: With Mounted Amazons
80,4 no68 p.182 Neck-amphora. Chantilly, from Nola.

Dietrich von Bothmer. 1957. Amazons in Greek Art. Oxford: Clarendon Press.

The image shown on the Secrets of the Dead episode is a red-figured neck-amphora, Munich 2342 (J. 774) number 154 in von Bothmer. Not illustrated in this book, but the author says “The Munich amphora shows an archer who faces left in a pose like the archers by Euphronios, a hundred years earlier. This figure recalls the archer on a neck-amphora by Aison (68), which is contemporary.”
