Cup fragment that preserves the rim and body of the bowl, and the bottom edge of the tondo. Interior: tondo with a stopped-meander pattern and cross-squares border; feet of a draped figure to left. Exterior: five youths and an Ionic column. At the left a youth wearing a himation, behind him a cross-shaped object. The next figure (face and most of upper body missing) holds out a fold of garment with the right hand; another figure moves to right and looks back, arms outstretched, his himation pulled tight between them. An Ionic column separates this figure from the last pair: a youth wearing a himation, pulled over the back of his filleted head facing a figure also dressed in a himation whose outstretched right hand rests on a knotty stick. Between the two figures a pair of sandals hangs on the wall.
