(a) Erastes-scene: On the left is a youth, ityphallic, seated on a chair
to right, with radiated fillet and drapery under him, left arm placed
behind his head; his feet rest on a footstool. A more youthful figure,
with radiated fillet, the ends of which hang down, climbs on to the
chair, on which his left foot is placed, with the aid of a staff in his
left hand. On the right is a Doric column, beyond which a bearded
middle-aged man stands looking on, with a white fillet, the ends of
which hang down, himation over left shoulder, and right hand on knee;
behind him is a doorway, with a half-door over which a youth in a
himation is leaning, looking to left. Within is seen the upper part of
the door in perspective, turned back on its hinge; on both parts are
broad black bands studded with large white nails.
(b) Three ephebi conversing, wearing fillets and wrapped in himatia; the
central figure stands to right, and the one on the right extends right
hand as if speaking. Behind the central figure hangs an aryballos.
