Type 8 oinochoe with a vertical handle (flat strap). There is black gloss inside and outside, with some incrustations within, and extensive areas of misfiring outside. A reserved ground line runs around the exterior, with a nude short-haired youth walking to the right. He holds a bundle of drapery in his outstretched left hand, and looks back at a strigil in his outstretched right. To the left, on the ground, is a discus, decorated with a swastika. There is an inscription to the left of the youth - KA?OS The flat base is unpainted save for a black central dot and ring. The incised Greek inscription AISXY?O is not ancient.
