Description:   Mended from 15 fragments: more than three-quarters preserved; several large fragments missing from rim.
Plain rim. Torus foot, rising within. Thick stem with fillet at juncture of foot, offset with two scraped grooves. Broad bowl, plain lip, two canted horseshoe handles. Reserved: bottom of cone within, resting surface and outer face of foot, inside of handles and handle panels. Good black glaze. Shape close to Agora XII, no. 420, 500-480 B.C.
Decoration: tondo defined by a thin reserved line. Within, a beardless youth with short hair bathes, squatting or resting on one knee within a large basin. Upper legs are shown widespread and bent, with the figure's left knee rising above the rim of the basin. The full torso from lower belly up is shown frontally, with the head turned to the viewer's left and seen in profile. In each hand he holds a short stick, applying the one in his left hand to the back of his head. A blob of added red may be part of the stick or part of the wreath worn around the head. Almond-shaped eye with small solid dot for pupil, closed at both ends. A few muscles or bones show in thin, full-glazed lines, generally not much detail. Basin shown as round-bottomed, following curve of tondo. It has a flaring offset rim above two lug handles. Except for the base, similar to Agora XII, no. 1847, from a pre-Persian context.
