On shoulder, short rays and palmettes (three and two) ending in a lotus bud to either side of the handle attachment. Dots between the palmettes. Net pattern above picture.
On each side of the picture, a Doric column. At the center, a simple Π-shaped fountain house with a single lion spout, front; below the spout a large hydria being filled. At left, a man wrapped in an himation, waiting for the water jar; at right, a youth moving away with a jar just filled. Branches in the field.

Cf. CVA Taranto, pl. 15, 3-4.
ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ:   Μελανόμορφη λήκυθος του ζωγράφου της Γέλας, με παράσταση σκηνής κρήνης. Εκατέρωθεν της σκηνής διακρίνονται δύο δωρικοί κίονες. Στον ώμο φέρει διακόσμηση από ανθέμια και μελανές στιγμές. Αποτελείται από τρία συνενούμενα τμήματα. Λείπει η λαβή του αγγείου.
Context:   Well beneath Stoa gutter.
Handling:   Vessel should not be lifted by the neck or handle since both have been weakened by breakage. Physical contact with the pictorial scene should be avoided since the cracked black glaze on the man's robe could become dislodged.
