Two non-joining fragments of top side, side, and floor, b with stub of handle. H. a) 0.035, b) 0.035; est. diam. 0.10.

On each side of handle, sphinx. The one on fragment a (illustrated) crouches to left and is preserved except for the paw of her raised right foreleg, the tips of her sickle-shaped wings, and a bit of her tail. The one on fragment b sits or crouches to right: all that remains are her hindquarters and tail, most of her bow-shaped wings. Dilute glaze: dots on wing bows.

For two sphinxes on the top side of an askos, see Dresden 31.104 (Hoffmann, Sexual and Asexual Pursuit, p. 13, cat. no. Nb 1, pl. 10:3); Ferrara 3907 = T.40 A (Massei, Gli askoi . . . Spina, p. 120, cat. no. 75, pl. 29:3).
