Decoration Description:

Tondo is bordered by a narrow reserved band. A wreathed satyr reclines on a couch, which is indicated by narrow reserved band (fragments imprecisely assembled give inaccurate effect of bent line). His back is supported by a pillow decorated with three black bands crossed by two close-set lines. His legs are bent and upraised, with feet pressed against the edge of the tondo. With both hands and upraised right knee he raises a pointed amphora to his lips.

Relief contour throughout except for reserved contour of beard. Dilute glaze for inner markings. Added red for tail, wreath, lettering. Incised contour of hair at crown and nape.

Inscriptions:

In tondo, beneath couch and in field above the satyr's head: *E*P*I*K*T*H*T*O*S *E*G*R*A*F*S*E*N ("Epiktetos painted it").
