Fragment a preserves the head and shoulders of a woman to right, wearing a peplos, her hair bound up with a fillet, a necklace and an earring for adornment. Fragment c gives a bit of the tied-up hair of a woman to left, probably one facing her. Fragment b (from the other side of the vase) shows the lower legs and feet (the right frontal, the left in profile) and a little drapery of a male, probably looking to right, facing a woman (lower part of chiton, left foot). Fragment d preserves the head to left of this woman. Above the figures, laurel wreath to right with berries; below, crosshatching. Palmette-and-lotus configuration at handle, parts of it preserved on all fragments but d. Preliminary sketch. Relief contour. White: necklace; earring; dots on branch on a; part of wreath on c. Added clay: berries.

The ornament at the rim is closest to that on Athens, N.M. 1246 by a follower of the Shuvalov Painter (ARV2 1212, --- [a]; Paralip. 464, ---; Addenda 347), the Alexandre Painter (Lezzi-Hafter, Schuwalow-Maler, p. 112, cat. no. Al 3, pl. 141:b--d). On this, however, there do not seem to be berries. For the crosshatching, see 1329. For the reserved line on the inside of the rim, see 1328.
