One of a pair of skyphoi. The body is plain, with the profile slightly incurving. The handles are designed to be held with the thumb, middle finger, and forefinger, and consist of a horizontal flaring plate on top with tight curlicues at the rim attachment. The lower attachment has elaborate cutout designs featuring scrollwork and an ivy leaf. The rings have small, leaflike knobs on the outer face.
