Six non-joining fragments, a and b of rim and wall; c -- e of wall; f of handle. Narrow reserved band on inside at rim; another 0.038 below rim. Glaze fired brownish red in places; abraded on rim and handle. P.H. a) 0.08; diam. of rim 0.29; max. dim. b) 0.184, c) 0.156, d) 0.051, e) 0.082, f) 0.136.

A, maenad to left. Fragment d (illustrated) preserves the top of her wreathed head and the leaves of her thyrsos. At the far right of fragment a there is the top of an object that looks like a thymiaterion or, more likely, a thyrsos, except that the individual leaves are not articulated as they are on fragment d. B, youths. Fragment c shows the hand of one, the back of the head, and upper body of the second, both to right, facing a third (face, part of body, right arm), who holds a stick. The last two wear himatia. Fragment a shows the back of the head of the third youth. Fragment e preserves the lower drapery and feet of a figure standing to left, probably 3 because the vertical application of the glaze behind him indicates the start of the area below handle B/A. The glaze overlaps the maeander pattern, thus terminating it. On rim, laurel wreath to left. Below, maeander pattern with checkerboard-squares. White: wreath.
