Attic red-figure pottery lekythos depicting a mythological scene
A winged Nike, the goddess of victory, plucks a lyre as she flies across this ancient Greek pottery vessel known as a lekythos.
Lekythoi were containers for perfumed oil and are often found in tombs. They played an important role in Greek funerary rites because the oil was used to anoint the dead.
