Early in EC. The base of a small alabastron. Feline to right, with only his four paws preserved. Parallel curved incisions appear on the paws, straight lines in the legs. A small incised rosette is placed between the front and hind legs of the feline. On the bottom of the alabastron is an exaggerated pinwheel rosette with a large blob on the end of each of the nine spokes. Glaze: black and glossy. Clay: slightly powdery, smooth, and fine. Orange buff. Munsell no. 10 YR 7/3 (very pale brown).

Not far from the work of the Dolphin Painter. D. A. Amyx (private correspondence, 29 January 1986) concurs, considering it "very close to the Dolphin Painter (his own work?)" and notes especially the peculiar pinwheel rosette beneath the vase.
