They are sitting across fromeach other, looking at a block situated between them. The board game they areplaying, which might be compared toabackgammonorcheckersvariant, was played withadie. According to the words written next to the two players, Achillesproclaims he has thrown a four, while Ajax a three. Although the two of themare pictured playing, they are clearly depicted as being on duty, wearing theirbody-armour and holding their spears. The rest of their weapons are situated inclose proximity, suggesting that they might head back into battle any moment.Apart from the selection of this very intimate, relaxed scene as a symbol fortheTrojan War, this vase-painting also showcases the talent of Exekias asan artist: the figures of both Achilles and Ajax are decorated with fineincised details, showing almost every hair.The colors are very simple,natural pigments that could have easily been found in nature and utilized bythe Ancient Greeks.
