I (fragments f and h: illustrated), two women (head with sakkos, part of himation of one; himation of the other) facing. Stopped-maeander pattern with cross-squares for tondo border. Around the tondo, Eos and Kephalos. Fragment d (illustrated) shows a male (head, torso, left arm) to right, looking back, a petasos hanging down his back. He holds two hunting spears (shafts) in his left hand. Fragment k preserves his right foot off the ground, indicating that he is running very fast to right. Next comes fragment h (illustrated), which gives the lower parts of a man in a himation who is leaning to left on a stick. Fragment b (illustrated) preserves the head with sakkos and one wing of Eos, and fragment j shows the lower border of her chiton and part of her right foot. She runs to left. At the right of fragment j there is the foot of a man or youth, also to left. Fragment c/g preserves the ends of two spears held by this person (fragment i gives their heads), then an object that looks like a rock, and the lower left leg and foot of youth running to left. Fragment a (part illustrated) preserves the head, back, and right arm of this youth, and fragment e shows the calf of his right leg. Around his waist is a cloak. At the far right of fragment a is the back of the head of a woman who is wearing a sakkos. A--B, seated woman between two standing youths. Fragment b preserves the head of a youth to right, most of two sandals hanging on the wall, the right in profile. Fragments i and j show a bit of his drapery as well as part of the palmette configuration under one handle. Fragment h (illustrated) preserves the lap and legs of a woman seated to right, dressed in a chiton and himation, and the lower part of the chiton and himation, as well as the feet of a youth, also to right. Fragments d (illustrated) and k give part of the palmette-tendril-lotus configuration under the other handle. At the left of fragment a is a pair of sandals hanging on the wall, then the head of a woman to right, facing a youth (head, part of himation). Between the two, objects hanging on the wall (cloths). Fragment e gives the lower part of this seated woman (chiton and himation) and fragment c/g (illustrated) shows the lower part of the youth's himation as well as part of the tendril and lotus of the handle ornament. Reserved line below figures. Preliminary sketch. Fragments l and m do not seem to belong, for the glaze is very metallic. No decoration is preserved on these.

For Eos and Kephalos, see LIMC III, 1986, pp. 759--764, s.v. Eos (C. Weiß). The brief description given in LIMC (p. 761, no. 81) is based on the arrangement of the fragments in the composite photograph. Examination of the fragments on both the inside and the outside suggests a quite different arrangement, for one has to account for the proper positioning of the figures in each composition as well as the ornament at the handle, and this does not allow much leeway. The results appear in Figs. 52 and 53. The presence of hunters and a winged goddess confirms the subject, but it is a very unusual arrangement of the main protagonists, because Eos is not close to her quarry. Since she runs to left, the little bit of the hunter on fragments i and j or the one on d and k can hardly be Kephalos, because each moves toward Eos. The only remaining space for him would seem to be in the missing area diametrically opposite the goddess.
