| Decoration: | The lip is black, and the lower body is black, with a reserved band below. In the reserved handle zone, five draped figures. In the center, a bearded man and a woman stand to right and left, respectively, as though in conversation. Both figures are draped, and the woman has drawn her mantle over her head and holds it out in front. At left, a second woman, very much like the first, stands to left. At right, a second draped male holding a spear (or staff) stands to right. The foot and lower draped body of a woman to left are preserved at the right edge of the fragment. A spot of glaze at the top edge may be from the tip of her mantle, indicating that she is dressed like the other women and also holds her mantle out before her. Red: centers of rosettes on mantles of left and center women, dot on top of head of woman at left, stripe on lower folds of mantle of woman at right, mantles of both men, and irises of the eyes of left- hand and center women; white: flesh of women, petals of rosettes on mantles of left-hand and center women, chitons of two men, and fold in mantle of man at right | |
