- Description
- Shoulder and body fragment of a small lekythos. Head and shoulders of a chinless man with a shapeless nose and incised eye. Very badly worn. Trace of original reserved surface only near the man's right shoulder. Trace of black line which encircled the lekythos at the shoulder. Perhaps by the Sappho Painter, who paints similar eyes and formless faces.
