Interior, woman at laverExterior, athletesThe interior presents a lovely picture of a young woman at a laver. By her feet stands the bail amphora in which water was carried. She has her hair in a sakkos (snood) and wears a chiton that shows off the painter's skill in drawing and handling dilute glaze. The skyphos (deep drinking cup) and wineskin on the wall subtly introduce the symposium at which this cup was used and in which the youths on the exterior would soon participate.
