Description
  • English: Achilles dragging Hector's corpse through the Greek camp. Bone comb from tomb 5, via Frascati in Oria.
  • Français : Achille traînant le corps d'Hector derrière son char. Peigne en os provenant de la tombe 5, via Frascati à Oria. Photographie d'un peigne en os de couleur brunâtre où a été sculpté un bas-relief. En haut et en bas, les dents du peigne, très abîmées, sont cassées pour la plupart. La scène est sculptée sur la partie centrale du peigne qui forme une longue bande horizontale. Achille est monté sur son char, un quadrige, et avance vers la gauche ; tout en tenant les rênes, il se retourne vers la droite pour regarder le corps d'Hector accroché au char par les pieds et traîné sur le sol de tout son long, les bras en arrière. Achille brandit une lance dans sa main gauche au-dessus du corps de son ennemi. Sur la droite, derrière le cadavre d'Hector, un guerrier debout tient un bouclier rond et brandit une lance. L'extrémité gauche de la scène est occupée par une colonnette supportant un vase.
