Fragment from the body of a large vessel. It was found in 1996 during the Makrygiannis plot excavation in Well Μ 20.

The fragment depicts four women dancing. They have long hair and turn their heads to the left. They are wearing long skirts decorated with crisscross lines. Between the women are depicted birds, double axes and chevrons. The scene is framed by parallel lines while in the zone above, hatched triangles alternate with swastikas.

Dance representations appear in Attic pottery around the middle of the 8th cent. BC. Initially, these scenes were predominantly used to decorate vessels intended for wine consumption. Later on, towards the turn of the century, similar scenes were more frequently depicted on vases with tall neck and handles -the loutrophoroi-, vessels primarily associated with marriage, as they were employed to carry water for the nuptial bath.

Dancing scenes shown on vessels might draw inspiration from mythological episodes or be connected to rites of passage such as weddings and burials.
