Three non-joining fragments, a with part of trefoil mouth, ridged handle, neck, and shoulder; b and c of wall. Some of the glaze on a and b fired red; some abrasion. Streaky black glaze on inside. P.H. of a) 0.125; P.W. 0.135; max. dim. b) 0.145, c) 0.04.

Komos. At the left of fragment b (illustrated) is the left foot and shin of a man to right. Fragment c gives a little of his drapery and the start of his left thigh. Then on fragment b comes a woman (from the waist down) to right, wearing a long chiton. She plays the aulos, part of which along with her right hand appears further to the right. Finally comes another komast (right leg from the knee down missing, also right hand and part of drapery) to right, looking back. There is a wreath around his head and a cloak over his left shoulder. At the far right is a little of his left hand and something he holds in it, either a short staff or an aulos. The figures are framed by a chevron pattern. Below the figures, stopped-maeander pattern. Fragment a gives more of the ornamental decoration: the chevron pattern and above the figures, two friezes, a zone of upright encircled palmettes and above that, an egg pattern.
