Description:   First interpretation: Mold signed fragment.
Broken at left and chipped along outer edge at top.
Preserved is a male figure, bearded and partly draped, reclining on a couch and playing the double flutes, which are held in place by a strap. A large cake and a bunch of grapes on the table in front of him. At the preserved edge of the mold, not completely included in the original impression, is part of a draped female (?) figure, sitting on the end of the couch. One of her hands rests on the flutist's knee; above, a phiale (?), perhaps extended in her other hand. Above in the field, a thyrsos in very low relief. Incised outside, in the unbaked clay the letter lambda (Λ).
