At the center, the goddess Athena sits on a klimos, with Posidon holding a fish seated to the right, and Dionysos with a rhyton seated to the left, all between eyes. The field is filled with grape vines laden with fruit. Flanking the handle are two warriors, each armed with a crested Corinthian helmet, greaves and a shield. Most kyathoi were produced for export to Etruria in the workshop of Nikosthenes, of which the Painter of Vatican G57 was a member. The majority feature Dionysiac subjects, which is quite appropriate as they were used for ladling wine from a krater.
