Four non-joining wall fragments. Glaze brownish and streaky on inside and stops 0.08 from top break on fragment a. Max. dim. a) 0.119, b) 0.069, c) 0.091, f) 0.04.

Men or youths with horse or mule. Fragment a preserves the hind legs of the animal to right and a bit of the reserved ground line. Fragment b shows the outstretched right hand and a bit of the himation of a man or youth to left, facing another (drapery). Fragment c gives the bent left thigh and start of calf, a little of the right thigh, the left wrist and hand of a male to left, wearing a himation. The position of his legs suggests that he is a komast. Fragment f (not illustrated) may preserve more of this figure's himation. Dilute glaze: lines on borders of himatia; muscles (very faint). Red: line below figures that continued around the vase.

The figure on fragment c was probably somewhat like the right komast on the Goettingen Painter's namepiece (ARV2 233, ---, 1; Addenda 200). Not from the same krater as 202. 201 has brownish glaze on the inside, 202, black. The presence of the ground line on fragment a would argue that the figures on 202 were framed, were it not for the similar ground line on a contemporary column-krater by Myson that has unframed figures on each side: Louvre CA 1947 (ARV2 240, 44; Paralip. 349, 44; Addenda 201).

Recalls the Goettingen Painter (ARV2 235, ---).
