One side of this red-figure oil flask (alabastron) shows a bearded man leaning on a staff, dressed in a pleated overgarment (himation), and holding a drinking cup. While the scenes are separated by vertical borders of meanders and saltire squares, they form a single narrative.
The other side shows a boy running away from the man, and looking back at him. The boy has long hair, falling in sinuous locks over his shoulder, wearing a pleated dress (himation), which partially bares his chest. He holds a lyre in his left hand, an attribute often associated with Ganymede, the handsome cupbearer of the gods.
