An inscription is written on the inside of the decorative border: 'DORIS .GRAPHSEN' meaning 'Doris painted this'. The exterior depicts ten male figures, four seated youths and five standing bearded males. One of the youths holds a hare in his lap. In the background lyres, aryballoi, sponges, and string bags with knuckle bones are depicted (The J. Paul Getty Trust, 2017). Two inscriptions are on the exterior: 'HIPPODAMAS KALOS' and 'HIPPODAMAS []LOS' meaning 'Hippodamas is beautiful' (The J. Paul Getty Trust, 2017). |
