Fragment of slightly domed lid, glazed on underside. Max. dim. 0.112.
From center out: egg pattern; women and Eros. At the left, a woman (upper half) is seated to left, looking back at Eros (forearms, hands, legs missing), who bends over to left. The woman holds a mirror in her raised right hand. At the right is a woman (most of head, right arm, side of chest), probably seated to right, looking back. White (flaked): flesh of left woman and Eros. Dilute glaze: drawing on white. The garments, mirror, and wings may have been in added color because there is no detail.
