Large fragment, giving most of the figured band on the exterior. Donkey galloping to right, flanked by two swans with wings outspread and a hen at right (similar to 86.AE.168.2, which gives the other side). A section of the tail feathers of the hen at right are missing.

Rounded lip and interior of bowl black save for a narrow reserved line inside the lip. Exterior black save for the figured band and a narrow reserved stripe toward the bottom of the bowl.

Adapted from Clark, A., CVA Malibu 2 (1990).
