Interior: A reclining male figure, draped from the waist down, leans against a doubled-over bolster. With the forefinger of his outstretched right hand, he holds akylixby the handle. A wreath, now so worn as to be all but invisible, dangles from his left hand. Hanging on the wall at his feet is a flute case of spotted animal skin. The figure is a participant in a Greeksymposium(drinking party) and is shown playing the popular game ofkottabos,in which contestants attempted to hit various types of targets with wine dregs flung from the bottom of a kylix. Akalos inscriptionreading "HO PAIS KALOS" ( "the boy is beautiful" ) appears above the head and knee of the symposiast.
Exterior: Reserved except for black glaze on the base ring and in a wide circular band in the center of the plate.[3]
