Description / Expertise
One side is painted with a scene of a mounted horseman pursuing a young woman. He wears a wreath in his hair, a chalmys and a petasos and banded boots and carries two spears in his right hand. The female in a long gown runs away to the right, her head turned back, an oinochoe in her left hand a raised patera in her right. The back is painted with three youths. Below the scene is a band of meander, with laurel leaves beneath the rim.
