Attic White-ground Lekythos
The decoration on this vase is faint and poorly preserved although the vessel is intact.
The shoulder is decorated with tendrils and palmette.
On the body: in the center there is a gravestone topped with a palmette, and with a red fillet wrapped around it near the top.
To the left there is a figure who holds something in his or her hand.
On the left there is a woman who is draped in a cloak (himation), probably over a tunic (chiton) which is no longer preserved. Her hair is tied up by a fillet.
A band of meander pattern decorates the top of the body.
