Decoration Description:
Man and youth. Flanked by large eyes, a rather chubby bearded man in himation and fillet is talking with a youth. The youth is naked except for a fillet, and he is holding a cock in his arms. The man raises a ball or piece of fruit in his right hand and lowers his left. The handle is flanked by large cocks facing it.
Added red is used for both fillets, the man's beard and some folds in his himation, the comb and wattle of the cock carried by the youth, the inner ring of the large eyes, the flanking roosters' combs and wattles and some of the left-hand bird's feathers. Added white includes the cock held by the youth, an outer ring in the large eyes as well as their outlines, dots on the bodies and tails of the flanking cocks and their hackles and saddle feathers.
The strap handle bears a molded ridge that ends in an ivy leaf and has superimposed on it a triple tiered knob at the handle's apex. The foot's resting surface is reserved; the rest of the underside is glazed. The clay throughout the vessel is pale brown.
