Concave outer edge of this flange reserved. Preserved is a winged Eros, squatting, facing left, holding a mirror out to a figure of which only the left arm is preservd. At the right, a draped figure wearing a chiton, moves left, holding in her outstretched right hand a box from which falls an embroidered scarf. Head and shoulder of this figure missing. Behind her, the end of a cushioned couch. The arm of the figure missing at the left is painted white; also the figure of Eros, except for his wings. Added clay for a band around the head of Eros.
