Two female figures: girl in thin chiton and with hair falling in curls to her shoulders stands with her right foot on the ground, her left raised, as if on a high boulder(?); she bends forward, both arms outstretched. A narrow curving line in the field in front of her face appears to be intentional. Behind this figure, a second girl, her hair tied up in a broad band, runs right, looking back left; in her outstretched hand she carries a long branch, or unbound wreath. In front of knee of second girl two letters in white.
Relief contours; the glaze mottled and fired irregularly red and black; the surface also stained and dulled in part, iron stains?
