Intact. Much of the glaze and the white ground have abraded. Most of the drawing is very faint. H. 0.225; diam. at shoulder 0.07.
Youth at tomb. The youth (head, shoulders, right arm extended, lower legs) stands to right, dressed in a himation and facing a stele supported on a one-stepped base. Above, three lines. On the shoulder: rays; above, tongue pattern. Dilute glaze: lines. Matte drawing: light gray for stele and garments of youth; light reddish for youth's hair.
The stele is crowned by a pediment surmounted by a disk with a disk at each end, and it seems to be a variant of Nakayama's Type B-V, which has lateral akroteria that curve outward (cf. 894).
