| Description: | A single fragment of the mouth and upper frieze of the neck of a volute-krater. | |
| Decoration: | The top of the mouth is reserved. On the outside, key to left between black lines. There are black lines above and below the figured zone. Two horses (heads, necks, and forelegs preserved) of a quadriga stand to right. A dog, also to right, is alongside and faces a man seated to left, who is draped and holds a scepter. Above and behind his head are parts of two spears. The surface is too worn to determine added color. Black, under the overhang below the figured frieze and continuing down onto what remains of the neck below the overhang, suggests that the lower part of the neck was plain, without a second figured frieze. | |
