Pottery: red-figured chous.
Two boys at play. In the centre is a three-legged stool, on which is a fruit; upon this the boy on the left leans with one hand, resting his right hand on his hip; he looks at the other boy, who moves towards him, bending forward, and extending both arms, his left hand holding a cake (?). Each wears a fillet, and the usual cross-belt of infants. Beside the stool a fruit lies on the ground. On the left is a toy cart, its shaft upright.
Drawing graceful. White flesh of boy on left, object in hand of the other boy, and ivy-wreath around the neck of the vase. Gilding for fillets, bracelets, objects on cross-belts, fruit and berries of ivy-wreath. The details of the white flesh are rendered in brown. Below, a red line.
