Symposion. Two males (part of head, shoulders, body of left missing) reclining on the ground opposite each other with a big column-krater on the ground between them. The left one has a cloak over both shoulders. The right one holds a drinking horn in his left hand and has a fillet around his head. Each looks back and downward, the right one looking at a drinking horn lying on the ground, which the left symposiast seems to be reaching for. Next to the left symposiast:

retrograde; above the krater:

Preliminary sketch. Added clay: dots on fillet. Red: fillet; inscriptions.
