Most of body on one side, with start of one handle, mended and strengthened with plaster. P.H. 0.125; max. dim. 0.168.

A, youths (illustrated). At the left, a youth (top of head, left hand, legs missing) stands to right, facing another (lower legs missing) who stands frontally, head in profile to right, right hand on hip, the left holding a flaming torch with a hand guard. Each is nude except for a fillet with spikes. Next comes a turning post mounted on a two-stepped base, with a garment thrown over the top. At the right of it, a trainer (right arm, body from the waist down) wearing a himation, his right hand pointing toward the turning post. He stands frontally, but his head was probably in profile to left. Below the figures, egg pattern with dots. Relief contour. Red or white (flaked): flames of torch.

The subject probably represents a torch race for athletes, characterized by the presence of a trainer and turning post, rather than the torch race for cult purposes. See Froning, Dithyrambos, p. 78, who cites G. Giglioli, "Lampadedromia," ArchCl 3, 1951, pp. 147--162, esp. pp. 154--156.
