Attributed to the Providence Painter. A woman walking right, wearing an himation and stephane, looking back over her shoulder. She holds an oinochoe behind her while holding a phiale in her raised left hand, above a flaming altar. A name inscribed to the left of her shoulder, KAPMI∆E∑ (Karamides), to the right of her shoulder, traces of KAΛΛO∑ (beautiful). Eight holes drilled in the neck and handle indicate the piece was broken and repaired with bronze staples, now lost, in antiquity.
