Wall fragment from near handle and a little of the return below the rim. Max. dim. 0.085. Matheson, Polygnotos, p. 368, cat. no. CHR 17.
Woman (most of head with fillet, right half of body to waist) to right, wearing a peplos. Behind her, the start of the egg pattern around the handle root. Preliminary sketch. Relief contour: face; nape. White: fillet.
The woman was probably a maenad (ARV2 1047, 16: compared with Harvard 1925.30.42 [ ARV2 1048, 38; Matheson, p. 373, cat. no. CHR 40, pl. 111] and Syracuse 35188 [ ARV2 1048, 41; Addenda 321; Matheson, p. 373, cat. no. CHR 44]). She is also similar to the one on Vienna 782 by the Christie Painter (ARV2 1047, 10; Addenda 320; Matheson, p. 367, cat. no. CHR 11).
