Interior: a winged youth running to the right. He raises his left hand and lowers his right. He has long hair, tied at the nape and bound with a fillet. His wings (upper halves red) are outspread. Around the tondo, two black lines, tongues (alternately black and red) with relief line separators, and two black lines. Exterior, A and B, signed "Sokles made [it]". The deep bowl has an offset, tooled lip. There is a reserved line on the inside of the lip; the edge itself is black. On the exterior, a black line, between the lip and bowl. The handles are black on the outside only. Below the handle zone, the black lower part of the bowl is divided by a narrow reserved band. The bottom of the bowl is black, as is the stem, and the exterior of the foot, save for its edge. On the underside of the foot, one black line near the outer edge, then a group of three lines, and one line on the inner border of the resting surface. The interior of the stem is reserved.
