Oinochoe (epichysis) with elevated handle, with lateral appliques in relief at the base, on the lip. Globular body, with elongated lip and thin cylindrical neck. Extended drain hole and edge with collar.
The vessel is decorated with red figures. The main scene is inside a temple-like or sanctuary construction, suggested by the columns with Ionic capitals. Two young people, a man and a woman, are caught naked, in a love scene. The woman is with her knees leaning on a capital and with her hands on a hydria slightly tilted. Behind the young man, after the column appears an erect penis. The young man wears a ribbon around his head and the woman a jewel like a bead necklace in her hair, two parallel strands at the ankle and earrings in her ears. Under the handle, a palm arrangement. The scene is framed at the top by a frieze formed of semiovals with a point. White addition to columns, hydria, jewelry, plants.
