Woman at tomb. The woman, dressed in a long chiton, stands to right, her left hand to her head in a gesture of mourning. The stele is a pedimental one and has a fillet tied around it about midway. Above, two lines. On the shoulder: rays; above, tongue pattern. Dilute glaze: lines. Matte drawing: gray for outlines; red for fillet and traces on lower border of chiton.
The shape of the top of the stele corresponds to Nakayama's Type B-V, which has middle and side akroteria (see Nakayama, Lekythen, pp. 266--267).
