As one of the most popular sports in the early Greek Olympic games, the chariot race always marked the opening of the games. It was followed by the pentathlon which consisted of running, jumping, javelin and discus throwing and wrestling. In the early 8th century, the artist has begun to admit figure decoration to his vases, and marks the introduction of the most fundamental element in the later tradition of Classical art, the representation of men, gods, and animals. A warrior and his stately horses are depicted on this Greek Charioteer Black Figure Vase Gallery quality reproduction made in Greece from terra-cotta, hand spun on the wheel, certified by the Greek Ministry, and measures 9.25"H x 5"D.
