Panathenaic Prize Amphora with Lid (Panathenaic amphorae; Signed by Nikodemos (Greek (Attic), active about 362 B.C.) (...; 363 - 362 BCE; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa (Malibu, Los Angeles...; 93.AE.55)

Note: The kionedon inscriptions on the front of the vase record that Nikodemos made the vessel, and that it was a prize of the Athenian games. Side A: Athena Promachos; Side B: Nike Crowning the Victor, with the Judge on the Right and the Defeated Opponent on the Left. The figure of Athena is portrayed in an Archaistic style. The particular use of Nike figures atop the akanthos columns flanking Athena allow scholars to date this vase to precisely 363/362 BCE. The Panathenaia, a state religious festival, honored Athena; the festival included athletic, musical, and other competitions. Amphorae filled with oil pressed from olives from the sacred trees of Athena were given as prizes in the Panathenaic Games.
