DESCRIPTION
Three Sirens sit on a rocky outcropping. The first plays a set of double-flutes, the second sings, and the third plucks a lyre. Odysseus' ship sails towards the island on the right (partially shown). The vessel is adorned with a boar-shaped prow and the hero (not shown) is secured to the mast.
