A narrow-necked lekythos with a flared mouth, a single strap handle and a stepped disc foot stands alone against a plain grey backdrop. The pale body has a band of painted pattern near the shoulder, a large fan-like motif on the left side and horizontal bands lower down. The neck and mouth show cracks and some surface losses.
