Shoulder fragment. Dull black glaze on inside. Glaze pitted and abraded in places. Max. dim. 0.152. Schleiffenbaum, Volutenkrater, p. 322, cat. no. V 198.

Youth (head with olive wreath, left shoulder with sleeve of chiton) standing frontally, head turned to left. He holds a neck-amphora, his right hand gripping one of its handles. Behind him, most of the head of a man with a wrinkled forehead who wears a pilos. His face is shown in three-quarter view. Between the two, a tree without leaves(?). Above, egg pattern with dots; then, tongue pattern. Preliminary sketch. Relief contour: nape of youth.

Close to the Talos Painter, if not by him. For lines across the forehead of a figure in frontal or three-quarter view, a sign of stress, see Naples 2045 = 2883, connected with the Pronomos Painter and the Talos Painter: two giants, one stooping to pick up a big stone, the other hurling one (ARV2 1338, ---; Paralip. 481, ---; Addenda 366) and Tübingen S./10 1568 = E 160, near the Talos Painter (ARV2 1339, 1; Addenda 367), now attributed to the painter himself (Paralip. 481); several of the figures on Würzburg H 5708, near the Talos Painter (ARV2 1339, 5). For the decoration on the shoulder of the youth's chiton, cf. Hera on the namepiece of the Talos Painter, Ruvo, Jatta 1501 (ARV2 1338, ---, 1; Paralip. 481, ---, 1; Addenda 366). For the double line on the upper eyelid, cf. Herakles on New York, M.M.A. 12.229.15 (ARV2 1339, 2).
