The oinochoe is part of the production of the Ilioupersis Painter and his followers, as evidenced by the refinement of the features of the figures and drapery. The figurative scene sees Hermes and Nike as protagonists at an altar in the act of making a sacrifice; the altar is rendered in perspective and partially painted in white. The ritual sees Hermes, with a fluttering cloak, petasus on his shoulders, caduceus staff and high sandals intent on pouring wine from an oinoche to extinguish the still burning flames of sacrifice; the Nike, dressed in a soft chiton, features hair gathered in a tail held in by a white lace, a crown radiated on the head, a pearl necklace, bracelets and armilla on the left ankle, as well as large wings with long feathers. In his left hand he holds a bunch of grapes with berries indicated in white. while offering first fruits from a phiale. The scene is probably a brilliant and original reworking where the sacrificers have become the deities to whom the sacrifice was addressed.
