A bit of preserved lip shows that this fragment comes from a kylix, or drinking cup. A finely dressed woman, with earring and headband, reaches out with her right hand, now lost but once holding a wreath in added red paint. Relief lines standing above the surface outline the face, neck, arm, and other details. Painted on the back side of this fragment is ORVIETO, its likely findspot more than a century ago.
