Amphora with Warrior and Dog — Attic amphora depicting the departure of a warrior, found at Vulci, attributed to the Dikaios Painter, 510-500 BCE.
In the centre, a young warrior stands facing a bearded archer in Phrygian costume, who looks down as if in grief. At his feet lies a large hound of mastiff breed, looking up at him.
