Wall fragment with start of shoulder. Some of the glaze flaked. P.H. 0.09.

Youth (a little of his left shoulder, lower legs, and feet missing) stands to left, looking back. He is dressed in a himation, has a fillet around his head, and holds a knobby stick in his outstretched right hand. In front and in back of him, a palmette-and-tendril configuration in black glaze. Above, net pattern. On the shoulder, hanging lotus buds; above, tongue pattern. Drawing: dull black glaze.

This should probably be added to Beazley's Group of Side-Palmette Lekythoi (ARV2 301--303; Paralip. 356--357; Addenda 211--212). The scheme of decoration and the style of drawing seem closest to Warsaw 142470 by the Painter of Copenhagen 3830 (ARV2 303, 3; 724, 9) and Palermo, no no. compared with him (ARV2 302, 16; 724 [a]).
