Four non-joining fragments, a and b of body and neck, c and d of body. Thin, streaky reddish brown glaze on inside. Dent in b on left at level of wreath. Max. dim. a) 0.097, b) 0.11, c) 0.118, d) 0.029. Choes and Anthesteria, p. 89, cat. no. 223, fig. 161.

Fragment a shows most of the wreathed head of a grotesque man to right. Above, a bit of a wreath with fruit, the leaves to right. Fragment c (illustrated) preserves his torso and thighs and on the right, the upper parts of another to left, playing the aulos. He wears a chiton and has his hair tied up with a fillet. Between the two, a stand with ivy leaves around its base. Fragment b (illustrated) gives more of the wreath, the leaves to left not to right, indicating that it should be placed to right of center, and fragment d preserves a trace of the egg pattern with dots below the figures. Relief contour: profiles. White: vine of left man's wreath; fruit.

For a similar wreath, see the oinochoe, once Munich, Preyss (Choes and Anthesteria, p. 154, cat. no. 719, fig. 119). For the ivy stand, see the one on a bell-krater by the Kleophon Painter, Copenhagen inv. 13817 (ARV2 1145, 35; Paralip. 456, 35; Addenda 335; Matheson, Polygnotos, p. 414, cat. no. KL 41, pl. 120).
