Black with traces of three woolen fillets in added red. These fillets attach to a temple key on a joining fragment, 86.AE.271.1. This fragment belongs to a vessel (93.AE.54) that depicts on side A: Peleus and Thetis, with their child Achilles, meeting Cheiron, in the company of Apollo, and on side B: a priest holding a temple key and a staff, a woman shaking hands with a seated figure, and two standing figures—perhaps the priest Chryses meeting Agamemnon to recover his daughter Chryseis. This fragment belongs to side B.
