Decoration Fragment exterior/ convex side: with his back to the missing handle, a satyr bends to serve a lost figure, of whom only a section of robed lower-body remains (possibly Dionysos). Beginnings of a branch with dotted leaves (typical of the Leafless Group) by satyr's right hand. Dashes of added red on satyr's beard and recliner's robe. Other details incised. Rim painted with a black band, a line of lighter wash beneath it.
