Exceptional for its size and its craftsmanship, the Vix Krater is made of several pieces, and weighs 208.6 kg in total. The vase is made of a single sheet of beaten bronze and weighs around 60 kg. The base is rounded, with a maximum diameter of 1.27 m. It has a capacity of 1100 litres. The thickness of the sides varies between 1 and 1.3 mm, and there is no sign of welding. The foot is cast, and has a diameter of 74 cm and weighs 20.2 kg. It is decorated with classical motifs and stylised vegetation. The handles are cast in bronze and weigh around 46 kg. The volutes (the spiral shapes on the top of the handles) are 55 cm high, and are richly decorated with grimacing gorgons. The neck of the vessel is decorated with images of soldiers in relief. Eight chariots driven by charioteers are each followed by an armed hoplite on foot. The lid, made of a sheet of beaten bronze weighing 13.8 kg, has an 18 cm-high statuette of a woman in the center. par Manchot (CC BY-SA 2.5)
