At the center of the scene, Herakles, wearing lion skin over short chiton and a scabbard, grabs Andromache, queen of the Amazons, by the wrist and is about to dispatch her with a short sword. Andromache collapses as she attempts to flee to the right, looking over her shoulder. She wears a short-sleeved chiton with a belt, the chiton decorated with registers of animals and mythical creatures: a sphinx, three sirens and four felines facing alternately left and right. She is armed with an Attic helmet, a shield and a spear, and has a sword at her side. To the left of these, an Amazon, Panariste, defeats a Greek, Timiades. Panariste wears a belted chiton, greaves, an Attic helmet with a wheel below the crest, and carries a spear and a shield with a rosette. Timiades sinks to his knee, and supports himself on his shield; he is naked except for his greaves and helmet. To the right, Telamon attacks the Amazon Aenippe. Telamon is naked except for greaves and a Corinthian helmet, and holds a spear in his right arm and a Boeotian shield on his left. Aenippe wears a short chiton, a leather corslet, and a helmet, and carries a large shield, a spear, and has a sword at her side.
