Miniature exaleiptron belonging to the Swan Group, decorated in the black-figure technique. It was found almost intact in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe.

On the vase’s body a row of degenerate ivy leaves are depicted. They are flanked by short lines on the upper side and dots on the lower. The vessel’s interior, as well as the lower part of the body, are covered by black paint.
