Cup with high stand decorated in the black-figure technique. It was found in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe in many fragments, was reassembled and restored.

The cup has a deep body, broad rim and two vertical handles one of which ends in a female head. The body is decorated with opposing lions, the rim with thick stripes and the lower part of the vessel with rays. The tall stand is in the shape of an inverted hollow, cone and has many slots. The decoration consists of lions, panthers and Sphinxes organized into zones, whereas the empty space around them is filled with rosettes.
