At the right, a woman (right leg with drapery, right forearm with bracelet, and hand holding a chest suspended by cords). Eros seems to have a cloak. On brim, egg pattern with dots. Added clay: ribs of fan; feathers; strings; contours of chest; bracelet; center of each egg. White: Eros' flesh; fan; chest; cloak (mostly flaked). Dilute glaze: drawing on white. Gilding: trace on one cord of chest.
