A, head of a woman in profile to left wearing a hair covering (kekryphalos) patterned with black and white stripes and dots, an earring, and a double-strand necklace. Across the brow is a row of beads, above which is a white bandeau and radiate stephane. A similar figure occurs on B, but without the row of beads across the brow. Around the rim between handles: egg pattern above a reserved stripe. Under each handle: palmette-fan, with single side-scrolls that serve as frames for the pictures, below which are three black bands alternating with reserved bands. Top of foot: reserved.
