Front mold of a female holding a phiale (libation bowl) in her right hand. Her hair is tied up in a high knot, and some strands fall along her neck. The face is well-modelled, while the hair and drapery have a roughly sketched quality. She wears a chiton, and a himation, which is draped over her left shoulder. The mold is missing below the waist of the figure.
