# Long description

Detail of a terracotta pot, with a black painted background and the figures the colour of the terracotta, with details drawn in fine black lines. The image shows a ship with a row of oars being pulled by four bearded men, and a tall mast with a furled sail. A fifth crew member steers the ship using a rudder. Tied to the mast is a naked bearded man. A hybrid creature with the face of a woman and the wings, tail and feet of a bird, dives down towards the deck of the ship. Two more of these hybrid creatures are also visible perched on rocks either side of the ship.
