In the center of the upper zone of the vase, the king of Thrace, Polymestor, is depicted with his eyes closed and his arms both outstretched clumsily to feel his way. He wears oriental clothes. He'd just been blinded by Hekabe, the wife of the king of Troy, Priam, as a revenge for the killing of her son, Polydorus. The sword, with which he blinded him, is lying on the ground. On the right, next to her, a servant stands supporting her. On the left, Agamemnon comes to judge the case, the crimes of Polymestor and his captive, Hekabe. One of his soldiers follows him. It is possible that the depicted scene is associated with the tragedy Hekabe of Euripides. In the lower zone, eight male and female figures make offerings at a rectangular stele.
