Lekythos decorated in the black-figure technique. It was found in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe in many fragments, was pieced together and restored.

The broad rim and the strap handle are covered with geometric motifs, while the cylindrical neck is decorated with circles enclosing a dot. On the vase’s shoulder and body, among scattered rosettes, animals are depicted such as billy goats and lions, as well as a Sphinx. Lastly, the lower part of the body is adorned with rays and the conical base with black paint.
