Youth to right preserved from the waist up holding a seven-stringed kithara, and a seated woman (lower legs missing) holding two reeds of an aulos. The youth wears a white wreath and has his himation draped over his left arm. A stick in added white is propped against his body. The woman wears a short-sleeved chiton, and sits upon a crossbar stool (meander pattern along top edge). She wears a white, radiate stephane, a hairband with white dots and edge, a white ribbon at the back of her hair, necklace, earrings and bracelets. Above the youth's head appear to be two human feet, perhaps from an Eros(?). Interior, undecorated.
