- Fragment of lid, almost flat. Top: a seated woman holding a box or chest in her left hand. The woman is foreshortened and wears a loose chiton falling gracefully over her body. Its rounded neckline is indicated by a double line, and the internal drapery folds are shown by very fine lines. Underpainting is visible. On her head, which is turned to the left, the hair is bound up in a sakkos, with some curls escaping. The curls are depicted as wavy lines in dilute glaze. A round dot indicates an earring. The face is missing. Underside: black glaze.
