Sixteen non-joining fragments of a small, thin-walled psykter. Only five fragments preserve figured and ornamental decoration. Part of the glaze fired reddish brown. Max. dim. a) 0.052, b) 0.057, c) 0.03, d) 0.048, e) 0.043.

Fragment a shows parts of two legs from just below the knees of a man to right, holding a knobby stick. Below, a border of esses. Fragment b (illustrated) preserves most of the right leg, a bit of the left thigh and toes of a man to left. At the left, part of a knobby stick that may belong to one facing. Below, more of the border. Fragment c (illustrated) gives the forelegs of an animal, perhaps a dog, to left, and fragments d and e show more of the ornament. Relief contour. Dilute glaze: muscles.

Recalls somewhat the earliest style of Douris (CB ii, p. 9; not in ARV2). The interior of the leg muscles finds a certain resemblance with that of the boy pursued by Erotes on the Athens aryballos, N.M. 15375 (ARV2 447, 274; Addenda 241; Buitron-Oliver, Douris, p. 78, cat. no. 85, pl. 56), a middle work of Douris.
