A: head of a woman in profile to left. She wears a radiate stephane; a sakkos with a pattern of white bands, crosses on a black background, and dots; a circular earring with drop pendant; and a single-strand necklace a of white over black dots. There is a dot-cluster below her chin and above her head. A long fillet with a ribbon at each end appears in the field in front of her head, an Ionic column behind. B, as on A, but with a slight variation in the earring and without the dot-cluster below her chin. Lower part of stem and foot are missing. Deep bowl with flaring mouth. Concave strap handles looped at top, with small spur about one-third above their join to bowl, where there is reserved area. After Jentoft-Nilsen, M. R. and Trendall, A.D., CVA Malibu 3 (1990).
