The image shows a detail of an ancient Greek kylix, a type of wine-drinking cup, adorned with depictions of fish. The kylix is black with orange-red figures, featuring several fish of various sizes painted in profile. The interior of the cup has a central raised circular platform with concentric rings. The exterior rim of the cup is decorated with scrolling wave patterns in red. The kylix rests on a white surface, likely a display pedestal, with a museum label partially visible in the foreground. The label, in Spanish and English, identifies the object as "Las aguas del Hades" / "The Waters of Hades" and describes the plates as depicting fish, creatures of the underworld, funerary symbols, and transitional spaces between life and death, and fertility. The lighting suggests an indoor exhibition setting. Based on the text of the label, this object is likely displayed in the Museo Arqueológico Nacional in Madrid, Spain.
