Block VI depicts a pair of riders. The one on left is riding his leaping horse which is depicted with its feet in the air. The rider is clad in a short chiton and a tight cuirass decorated with a gorgoneion rendered in relief and shoulder patches in the shape of lionheads. His Attic-type helmet is adorned with an eagle also in relief that holds a snake in its claws. The second horseman has not mounted his horse yet and turns to the opposite direction of the on-coming procession resting his left foot on a rock and fastening his sandal. He wears a chlamys and an Attic-type helmet.
