- Fragment of a white-ground lekythos. A man in a short tunic creeps to the right, amidst grape vines, one of which is preserved at the left. His cloak hangs down, and he may have carried a staff, seen at the right. The bottom of his tunic is shown by an incised wavy line, as is the hem of his cloak. Added purple is used for two horizontal bands at the top of the black base.
