An ancient Greek Attic red-figure Nolan amphora attributed to the Ethiop painter, depicting a young hoplite wearing a belted chiton, a chlamys draped over his right arm, a shield over his left shoulder and a spear in his right hand. The hoplite appears to be departing from the older bearded man on the left. There is a vertical inscription in red between the figures reading partially, “KONI.” On the reverse side is a standing bearded man leaning on a staff.
