From the Getty Museum record

Belongs with three other non-joining fragments of a volute krater’s rim and neck (86.AE.109.1, .3, and .4). Flaring lip, reserved on the topside, with red lines on the inner and outer edges. The inside of the neck is glazed, with a red line on the top. The side of the rim is reserved, with leftward key between two glaze lines. The upper section of the neck is offset and reserved, with figured decoration between two glaze lines. . Departure scene. The fragment gives part of the rim and upper register of the neck. In the figured zone, the fragment preserves (from left to right) : a woman to right (the upper half of her body preserved) with her himation drawn over her head; a warrior (his upper half preserved) standing to left (equipped with low-crested Corinthian helmet, round shield [blazon: leaf?], and spear); a bearded archer to left (his head and part of his shoulders preserved) wearing a Scythian cap; a quadriga to right (nothing of the chariot and horses is preserved), with a charioteer in a sleeveless chiton (only his upper half preserved) holding the reins and a goad; and a warrior to left (only the tip of his helmet crest, part of his round shield and spear preserved), looking to right, standing on the left side of the chariot.
