The fragment preserves part of the lip and upper section of the krater’s neck. On the left, part of a male who presumably moves to right (only his left arm and shoulder, as well as a portion of his garment remain). He is probably wearing a chlamys, and in his right hand he holds what appears to be a blunt-tipped staff or rod. Next to him three of four horses drawing a chariot to left, wheeling around, are partially preserved. The flaring lip is reserved on the topside. The inside of the neck is glazed, with a red line at the top of the neck. The side of the lip is reserved, with a leftward key between two glaze lines. The upper section of the neck is offset and reserved, with figured decoration. One glaze line above the picture. After Clark, A., CVA Malibu 1 (1988).
