The oinochoe features one of the most chronologically recent red-fi gure comic scenes, expanding knowledge of the application of the comic repertoire in regional red-figure production. After a synthesis of the available and most current knowledge on the aforementioned group of vessels, the author presents the results of an in-depth study of the oinochoe from Issa, including the possible significance of the depicted image, setting it in its cultural context. It can be added to the known body of the so-called phlyax vases, and is the first and thus far the only such example from Croatia. This vessel came to light as a grave good of grave 168, discovered during the 1983 rescue excavation of the Hellenistic necropolis of Issa, located on Vlaška njiva in modern Vis.
The Issa collection of the Archaeological Museum in Split holds a red-fi gure oinochoe decorated with a comic scene.
