Wall fragment. Glaze thin in places. Max. dim. 0.113. Choes and Anthesteria, p. 88, cat. no. 217, fig. 192; Beck, Album, pl. 77:382.

At the left, a woman (forearms and hands, legs with chiton and himation) sits to right on a klismos (part of seat, all of one leg), playing the aulos (half of both pipes). Then comes a dancer (part of arm, skirt, legs) also to right. Below the figures: egg pattern with dots. Preliminary sketch. Relief contour.

The composition on 904 may have looked something like the one by the Phiale Painter in Copenhagen, inv. 1942 (ARV2 1020, 88; Paralip. 441, 88; Addenda 315; Oakley, Phiale Painter, p. 80, cat. no. 88, pl. 69); there, however, the dancer is nude.

The Phiale Painter (ARV2 1020, 89; Addenda 315); not certainly by him (ARV2 1678, 89). Removed from the Phiale Painter (Oakley, Phiale Painter, p. 81, cat. no. 89). In ARV2, 904 is listed with the painter's hydriai, but the curve at the top of the fragment is not right for a hydria.
