Exterior: the legs of Peleus to left, the bottom edge of his draped chlamys, and two hunting spears, followed by Thetis to left, her right hand lifts her chiton slightly in front of her. Interior: black. This fragment joins to a pair of fragments (93.AE.54.6 and .7), completing the legs and feet of Peleus, and a foot of Thetis. This fragment belongs to a partially reconstructed skyphos (93.AE.54) that depicts on side A: Peleus and Thetis, with their child Achilles, meeting Cheiron, in the company of Apollo, and on side B: a priest holding a temple key and a staff, a woman shaking hands with a seated figure, and two standing figures—perhaps the priest Chryses meeting Agamemnon to recover his daughter Chryseis (see Williams, 1997, who also notes other joining fragments in Leipzig). This fragment belongs to side A.
