Cup fragment that preserves much of the rim and body of the bowl. Interior: two youths facing each other, both wear fillets. In the field above the two figures, a cross-shaped object (possibly a torch holder). The feet of the figure on the right are preserved on a separate fragment, 86.AE.321.2. Tondo border of stopped-meander pattern with cross-squares. Exterior: youths and an Ionic column. Two youths, each in a himation, face each other, a cross-shaped object in the field between them. The youth on the right wears a fillet and leans on a stick, his left arm outstretched; behind him, and Ionic column. To the right of the column a third figure stands frontally, nude except for his himation, which he holds up and drapes over his right shoulder.
