Two fragments of a black-figure terracotta cup depict figures in profile. One fragment shows a figure holding a circular object above their head, and the other shows a figure playing a double pipe. Preserved is a rim fragment depicting a helmeted warrior to right holding a spear and shield, and a partial helmet (worn tilted off the head) to right at the left. Moore, Mary B.
