Description:   Mended from many pieces and restored in plaster. Foot with double torus moulding. Overhanging rim. Main side shows mounted Amazon riding right attacking hoplite. Amazon wears cap, striped trousers and jacket (note added purple), plus Greek corselet, chitoniskos, and mantle. She holds spear drawn back in right hand. Hoplite wears typical Greek armor: "Thracian" helmet, corselet, chitoniskos and greaves. He is armed with a spear, drawn back in the right hand, and carries a shield with an elaborate device, possibly a trident. There is a dolphin on the helmet, a lizard on the cheek piece. His back is towards the spectator. Groundline is maeander with one panel with cross in center. On neck an elaborate and unusual palmette. Other side has same groundline but with two cross panels. A heavily draped winged female runs to right, extending her right arm, her left hand clutching her drapery. She wears chiton and himation, has her hair in a bun, wears a stephane or fillet around her head. She is Eos and pursues a draped youth, whose hair is bound by a purple fillet. The youth runs right, looking back over his shoulder. He carries a lyre in his left hand, which identifies him most likely as Tithonos. No decoration on neck on this side. Work of an undetermined painter (of 440 B.C.).
Black glaze mottled red here and there. Brown clay.
