Garments or fillets hang on the wall, and a bird stands, right, on the floor beween two of the groups. On the body (back), a procession of draped women to right, carrying folded packages on their heads. Under the handles, Nike, running right, followed by Hermes with caduceus, then a woman, left, and the heads of two horses. Missing, the wedding procession(?).
