From the Getty Museum record
Medium-sized amphora, with a tall neck and bulbous waist. On the neck, hatched key, framed above and below by horizontal bands and pattern of connected elongated blobs. On the body, band of pointed ovals (‘leaves’), framed above and below by horizontal bands. Lower down, alternately broad black bands and groups of thin horizontal lines. The surface is worn and partially misfired. A crack runs down from the mouth on side B, but does not extend into the body (already noted in the 1962 sale catalogue).
