Wall fragment with start of rim. Brownish glaze on inside; red on outside. Max. dim. 0.083.
Nike (head with fillet, shoulders, part of wings) to left with start of outstretched arms, perhaps driving a chariot. White: flesh; fillet.
Dilute glaze: drawing on white.
The subject may have been the Apotheosis of Herakles with Nike driving the chariot. For the theme, see 440. Those by the Painter of London F 64 seem especially comparable (ARV2 1419--1420, 1--5; Addenda 375; LIMC V, 1990, p. 129, no. 2922, s.v. Herakles [ J. Boardman]).
