Youth (legs missing) in a chariot to left, drawn by three deer (legs, except for forelegs of right-hand one, much of bodies missing). The youth wears a cloak over his shoulders and a fillet around his head. He has the reins and a goad in his right hand. In front of the team, another youth (part of filleted head, most of left leg, a little of right) runs to left, looking back. The vertical bit of reserve to the left of him looks like a torch (no flames) that he held in his right hand, now missing. Above the figures, an ivy wreath with berries; below, egg pattern. Preliminary sketch. Added clay: fillet of charioteer; studs on headstalls; berries. Dilute glaze: locks of hair; markings on deer. White: left-hand deer; ivy leaves; reins and goad; ivy.
