Shaggy ram to left, raising its right foreleg, on a short reserved groundline. The lekythos has a flaring mouth, flat shoulder and a strap handle (set slightly askew). The thick disc foot is broader at the top than the bottom, and lipped near the upper edge. The top of the mouth, neck, shoulder, and underside of the handle are reserved, as are the groove and lower edge of the foot. Tongue pattern above inverted rays on the shoulder. Adapted from R. Neer, CVA Malibu 7 (1997).
