Behind her is Odysseus running up to carry her off, with left hand extended to seize her; he is beardless, with white pilos, bordered chlamys fastened with a fibula in front, sword slung at side, long double-pointed spear in right hand. Above the scene on the left is Athene seated to right, with hair in a knot at the back tied with a double fillet, earrings, necklace, bracelets, aegis spotted white with snakes in front and radiated border with white zigzags, long chiton and apoptygma with border as the aegis, spear in right hand. Behind her is an Ionic column, round which is a string of large beads ending in tassels.
