Fragmentary Attic red-figure pelike. Preserved on A: Leto with a phiale, Apollo with a phiale and kithara, and Artemis with an oinochoe, accompanied by a fawn. Partially preserved inscriptions name the gods. On the neck, band of encircled palmette and lotus. Towards the base, meander band. The scene is virtually identical to that on 77.AE.12.2, but note the shoulder pin affixing the drapery of Apollo and Artemis, the dotted pattern at the base of the kithara, and the fawn's dotted ears. Nothing survives of side B or the handles, but the foot is largely extant.
