Mouth, most of neck, part of foot missing. Mended from many fragments with missing pieces of the body restored in plaster. Some of the white has abraded as has the black glaze below the figures. Traces of burning, especially on foot. Some of the drawing is very faint. P.H. 0.184; diam. at shoulder 0.078.

Woman and youth at stele. At the left, the woman (part of drapery over legs) stands to right. Only traces of the stele (shaft and part of volute and acanthus anthemion) remain here and there. The youth sits facing to left (on what is not clear), his torso frontal, holding a spear in his raised left hand. Above, three lines; below, one. No trace of shoulder pattern. Dilute glaze: lines above figures; ground line. Matte drawing: reddish brown for contours and youth's hair; purplish red for youth's himation and acanthus.

863 seems fairly close to an unattributed white ground lekythos in Adolphseck, 46 (CVA, Adolphseck 1 [Deutschland 11], pl. 34 [512]:3, 4 and pl. 35 [513]:2). On both, there is no pattern on the shoulder or above the figures; the character of the anthemion is similar (on Adolphseck 46 it is a bit more ornate), and the drawing does not seem too far removed. The anthemion seems to belong to Nakayama's Group E-IV (Nakayama, Lekythen, p. 275).
