Two non-joining fragments of rim and wall with start of handle on far right of a. Glaze cracked in places; abraded on rim. Max. dim. a) 0.102, b) 0.077; est. diam. of rim 0.23.
Fragment a (illustrated) shows part of the helmeted head and back of a warrior to left, probably seated, for this would explain why he leans forward. Also, there is a bit of reserve at the lower break that might be the seat of a stool (a bit of a cushion[?]). Fragment b, probably from the other side, preserves the right arm with bracelet and a little of the sleeve of the chiton of a woman to left. In her hand she holds an ivy vine (part of vine reserved; the rest, white). Just above her sleeve is the end of a vine with leaf and flower that might be the end of a fillet tied around her head. White: helmet crest; bracelet; leaves and part of vine of ivy; fillet end.
Mentioned in ARV2 1156, 15 under 567 in the manner of the Dinos Painter but not attributed to him.
