Wedding scene(?). A woman (preserved to about the hips, except for her hands) stands to right, wearing a chiton and himation, her head bent downward, with the himation pulled up over the back of it. Around her head is a stephane; she also wears a necklace and bracelets. She is perhaps the bride. Behind her is another woman (right hand with a bit of drapery), who is holding three stacked phialai. Relief contour. Added clay and gilded: stephane; jewelry; phialai.

The Eretria Painter [I. Jucker, AK Beiheft 9 (pp. 63--69), p. 65, note 18]. Not in Lezzi-Hafter, Eretria-Maler. The drawing seems a little too heavy for this painter, and the drapery folds too close together.
