Reconstructed from three fragments, and belonging to the left side of a scene (raised area at upper left, part of handle root). Above, Hermes looking to right (kerykeion, petasos, chlamys, winged boots); below, paidagogos walking to right, with curved staff. He wears a white long-sleeved garment, a tunic and a chlamys, with a petasos hanging on his back. Added white for his hair and beard. On the far left, part of an open palmette-fan and an almost complete enclosed palmette-fan. Interior, undecorated. Probably part of the same vase as 86.AE.408.2
