Some elements painted white. Oinochoe in the shape of a woman's head. The upper part is covered with black engobe, as is the headdress, on which a white olive wreath stands out. The neck is outlined at the base with a black band. The elongated female face, very carefully modeled, corresponds to the classic Attic head type from the second half of the 5th century. The oval eyes are surrounded by a black outline. The hair is divided into two parts by a parting and falls in waves to ear level. The headdress flows into a narrow neck ending in a wide, cup-shaped spout. A cylindrical vice is attached vertically between the rim and the back of the head. Preservation condition: missing engobe in some places, damaged surface.
