Mended from several fragments. On the interior, a youth (wreathed, himation over shoulder, slippers) stoops to hold the head of his elder (wreathed and wearing a fillet, otherwise nude) who is vomiting. A staff lies to the left. Meander pattern around tondo. Partially preserved potter inscription.

A: Komos. A youth (himation over his shoulders, staff in the background) walks to the right with head down, looking into a skyphos and pointing towards a hetaira, who leans back on a striped cushion. She has a large skyphos in her left hand, and raises her right hand palm up. Her hair is tied up with a fillet. A second youth at right crouches, right arm akimbo, left hand raised and gesticulating.

B: Komos. A nude youth with an erection walks tentativel, with both hands raised, towards a nude woman who sits on the ground, playing krotala. A bearded man with a himation on his shoulders dances behind her with a staff in his hand. All three figures are wreathed.
