In the middle of the kylix’s main side, the prophesying head of Orpheus is depicted. To the left, a youth is seated taking the Orpheus’ oracles down with a stilus on a tablet. He wears petasos (broad brimmed hat), travelling clothes and sandals. To the right, the god Apollo stands holding a laurel branch in his left hand and at the same time he extends his right hand towards the young man, as if he wants to say something to him. The young man is probably a visitor to the oracle of Orpheus on Lesbos who came to receive an oracle. On the other side of the kylix, there are two Muses. One holds a lyre and the other a ribbon. The scene probably represents the discovery of Orpheus’ lyre and its delivery to the sanctuary of Apollo.
