Checkerboard pattern at lip. On front of vessel is a large figured panel framed at the top by a zig-zag pattern beneath a maeander. The scene shows Aeneas escaping from Troy carrying his father, Anchises, in his arms. Aeneas wears armor and carries two spears and a shield decorated with a lion. On the left of the scene, a man in a Phrygian cap carries a quiver and moves away from Aeneas and Anchises, but turns his body back to look at them. On the right of the scene, a draped woman is in a similar posture. The figures are in black-slip with details in incision and in added red and white. A portion of the lip is missing and restored in buff-colored plaster.
