A black-figure terracotta vase depicts a scene with several figures in red and black tones. The vase has two handles and a lid. Amphora with Orestes about to slay Clytemnestra. The neck and proper left handle have been reconstructed. A separate lid (80.AE.155.2) was associated with the vase, but does not belong. For further description, see individual records.
