Black-figure olpe decorated with a lion moving to the right. There is an eye in the space framed by the lion's curled tail and a large palmette in the field to the right. Large rosettes decorate the background. Red is added on the mane and belly of the lion and the rosettes. The vessel is composed of joined fragments; the lion's head is missing and the handle is partially preserved.
