Wall fragment. Max. dim. 0.096.

The fragment preserves the lower right leg, shown frontally, of someone wearing Thracian boots with fur tops, and moving to right, because in the lower right there is the heel of the left foot seen in profile. Red: narrow band below figures. Dilute glaze: lappets.

It is uncertain who the figure is, since quite a few individuals wear Thracian boots with fur tops. Here is just a sampling.
