The vase has two performances with athletes preparing for the Pentathlon, which was part of the Ancient Games. One of the performances depicts an Athenian athlete ready to throw a javelin next to a boy from Africa holding two dumbbells. The Athenian is taller and bigger next to the African. The participation of an athlete in a public place was a privilege that was generally limited to Athenian citizens. The explanation for the African man's presence is that he was probably "the son of a prominent African or a high-ranking official. And it was this social status that probably allowed him to participate in the struggles. "
