Goddess rising (Aphrodite[?]). Fragment a (illustrated) preserves part of the neck, shoulders, and right hand of the goddess rising from the ground. She is adorned with two necklaces and a bracelet. To the right of her, a dancing Pan (lower torso, legs), probably with a cloak over his shoulders (folds on each side), then an altar (about half) draped with a garland and a fillet. To the left of the goddess, a little of a woman (chiton) seated to right on a block, and behind her is another altar, also with a garland and fillet. Between the two figures, an unintelligible object (plant[?]). At the far left, start of handle root. Fragment b preserves, at the far left, a little bit of a boukranion; then comes the handle zone and part of the decoration on the other side: an aryballos hanging on the wall and the back of a draped figure, probably a youth, standing to right. Above, laurel wreath to left. Below the figured decoration, stopped-maeander pattern with saltire-squares. White: flesh of goddess; boukranion. Dilute glaze: lines on white; long hair on Pan's right leg.
