Wedgwood Tri-Color Pale Blue and Dark Blue Dip Jasper Ware Biscuit Barrel features the bas-relief of Panathenea Festival Cavalrymen. The Panathenea was Athens' primary annual festival, incorporating religious festivals, ceremonies, athletic competitions and cultural events, held in the Panathenaic stadium. Chariot races were an important event, including the apobatai , a chariot race in which the driver had to jump out of the chariot, run alongside, and jump back in.

The festival's main procession started near the main city gate, from which the cavalrymen would charge along the Dromos road past the Acropolis to the Parthenon. These events were immortalized in the Parthenon Frieze which was placed upon the Parthenon's naos in c. 440 BC, and from which these bas-relief were derived. This 135 year old biscuit barrel measures 5 1/4 tall to the rim and is marked'Wedgwood' Only in Serif Font which dates the piece prior to the McKinley Tariff Act of 1891. There is a small chip in the bottom rim.
