Description
Content (description)
At top centre is a fleshless boukranion, and at each top corner a goat's head. Two garlands of leaves and berries hang between the three. Over each garland two birds fly to a nest beneath a patera on left, a jug on right. Fillets hang down the centre between the garlands. The swans at the bottom corners crane their necks to the adjacent sides. Between them two smaller swans stand on rocks and turn their heads over their backs.
