Unattributed Terracotta Neck-Amphora in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oct. 2007

Front view.

Terracotta neck-amphora
Greek (Attic, Geometric), fourth quarter of the 8th century BC

Accession # 10.210.8

The procession of chariots on the body is complemented by heraldic lions on the shoulder and mourning women on the neck. Here again, snakes were added. While we do not know how these vases were used, it is possible that this example was for a woman and that 10.210.7 was for a man.
