Rim and neck fragment. Edge of rim chipped. Max. dim. 0.09. Schleiffenbaum, Volutenkrater, p. 325, cat. no. V 207.

Symposion. On the right, the top of the filleted head of a symposiast reclining to left. Above, an oinochoe hanging on the wall (originally, the artist intended it to face the other way). To the left of it, at the lower break, the start of something else, perhaps the end of one of a pair of krotala or the tip of the arm of a lyre. Above the youth's head:

On side of rim, key pattern to right. Relief contour: youth's profile. White: inscription.

The small amount of the symposion that remains bears some resemblance to that on the neck of the volute-krater that is the namepiece of the Boreas Painter, which also has the key pattern to right on the side of the rim (Ferrara 2739 = T.749: ARV2 536, 1; Paralip. 384, 1; Addenda 255). But there is not enough preserved on 240 to be sure of an attribution, though it does seem contemporary with this painter.
