Our vase is
a copy (in smaller scale) of the famous ancient Greek  vessel (stamnos)
known as «Odysseus and the Sirens»  which
is exhibited in the British Museum in London.

In this
stamnos, a large jar used to store liquids, Odysseus is tied to the mast of his
ship as his companions row and the Sirens swoop around him, singing their
beguiling song. Here, the Sirens are represented as birds with female heads who
have presumably flown from their island to meet the passing ship, though there
is no such description in Homer. On the back side three eros flying.
