The Portland Vase. The neck is narrow and widens to an oval body, with two handles. The body of the vase is dark in color and features light-colored figures of a young woman reclining on a rock beneath a tree with one arm raised to rest her hand on her head. A young man sit on a rock to her left and a young woman sits on a rock on her right.
