"(DIODORUS) defeats (POLYNEIKES), who is judged by an arbiter (the only clothed figure), depicted with his rod;

(ACHILLES) and DAMOCRATES box with their guards raised defensively;

(M)ETRODO(RUS) defeats (OLYMPIAC);

a victorious (PO)LYBICUS adjusts his victor's laurel crown;

IS(IDORUS) throws a punch at (FELIX).

The base section features four more laurel crowns alternating with crossed victory palms, which also appear over the tripod tables separating each half of the vessel."

Lastly, pictured below, the "LABE THN NEIKHN" cup translates as: 'Seize the Victory.' The design makes leaves out of the seams.

one of the theories is that the ‘circus beakers’ were souvenirs that were produced inexpensively and could be purchased at or after games.

In contrast, the productions by the famous ancient glassworker Ennion seems to have been more highly valued.
