The upper frieze depicts nude male athletes exercising: one holds a discus, two hold halteres and practice jumping, two are boxing, and one holds a strigil. Between the athletes are draped trainers wearing wreaths holding staffs. The lower frieze depicts male youths with spears pursing female youths as well as the mythological scene of Eos pursuing Tithonos (Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2017).
