The Attic red-figured fragment in the Archaeological Museum of Hania, inv. Π12489, published here in detail, was found during a rescue excavation conducted by the κε´ Ephorate of Antiquities) in Hania (ancient Kydonia) at the former Agricultural Bank Property in Skalidi str. The findspot is within the western limits of the ancient settlement of Kydonia. οnly a small part of a skyphos is preserved. The incomplete scene depicts the upper part of two figures, a beardless Herakles, named by an inscription in white ηρακλησ, probably seated and a Nike offering a phiale. There is also a tripod with ribbons in white, part of a wreath and a stylized blossom, all suspended. Above the picture a band filled with an olive sprig. The depiction can symbolically imply a festive or competitive event in honor of Herakles echoing at the same time the cult background that is attested in Kydonia through a significant inscribed votive offering of a local named Aischylos. Based on the elements of style and iconography the fragment is attributed to Dinos painter, and can be dated around 420 BC.
