Wall fragment with part of rim. Reserved line on inside at junction of rim. Max. dim. 0.13.

Warrior (feet missing), nude but for his helmet, attacks to left, his spear in his slightly raised right hand, a round shield (device: serpent) on his left arm. A sheathed sword hangs at his left side, but there is no baldric. Nothing of his opponent remains. On rim, upright ivy with berries. Preliminary sketch. Dilute glaze: muscles.

To judge by the position of the warrior, there was probably a slight indication of uneven terrain beneath his feet.

During his visit to the Agora in 1950, Bothmer suggested that the subject of 320 was an Amazonomachy, the Greek fighting a mounted Amazon, but he did not include 320 in his monograph, presumably because nothing of the Amazon remains. Nevertheless, the identification seems sound, and 320 may be compared with these contemporary examples: two from the Group of Polygnotos: Naples, RC 148 (ARV2 1054, 50; Addenda 322; Matheson, Polygnotos, p. 458, cat. no. PGU 60) and Naples, RC 161 (ARV2 1055, 74; Matheson, p. 463, cat. no. PGU 85); Brooklyn 09.3 by the Cassel Painter (ARV2 1084, 15; Addenda 327); Syracuse 37175 by the Orpheus Painter (ARV2 1104, 2; Addenda 329). In all these, the forelegs of the mount overlap slightly the shield of the Greek or else they appear in the space below his shield. If 320 showed a similar composition, the mounted Amazon was slightly farther away from her attacker. For a mounted Amazon to right against one or more Greeks, see Bothmer, Amazons in Greek Art (Oxford 1957), pp. 177--181.

For the ivy pattern on the rim, an unusual ornament on the rim of a bell-krater, see the one in Gela by a painter from the Group of Polygnotos: Undetermined (ARV2 1054, 45; Matheson, p. 457, cat. no. PGU 55).
