Youth (filleted head) to right. In front of him, the top of an unintelligible object. Behind him, at the break, the end of a contour line overlapping the reserved line. Between his

head and the left break, at the lower edge, is a bit of con-tour indicating part of a figure or an object. Above, hanging lotus buds.

For hanging lotus buds above the figures, a rather rare ornament in this area, see Kassel 78La, ex Basel Market by the Nikoxenos Painter (Auktion 51. Münzen und Medaillen AG Basel.
