Wall fragment from just below rim. Reserved band on inside. Max. dim. 0.081.
Man or youth (left arm and hand, a bit of drapery) to right, seizing a bull (most of head) by the horn. Above, about half of a phiale held by someone on the right, liquid spilling from it. Relief contour. Dilute glaze: curly hair on bull's forehead. White (flaked): libation.
Perhaps the sacrifice of a bull following a victory. Cf. 118, the slightly earlier stamnoid that depicts such a sacrifice following a victory in a torch race.
