Wall fragment with start of handle in upper left. Much of the glaze fired reddish; flaked on inside. Max. dim. 0.19.
Symposion. At the left, a woman (from the shoulders down) stands to right, wearing a peplos. In front of her is a little of a couch with the draped legs of the banqueter, and in front of it, a table. On the right are the lower drapery and feet of another woman. Below the figured decoration, stopped-maeander pattern with checkerboard-squares, a dot in each reserved square. White: woman's flesh.
For the absence of a pattern around the handle root, a rare occurrence, see two by the Painter of Vatican 9103: the namepiece (ARV2 1438, 1); Vienna 1142 (ARV2 1438, 2; Addenda 377).
