It was found in 1999 during the Makrygiannis plot excavation. On the surviving surface two horses with rich manes are depicted facing right. One can discern their reins and the undulating lines surrounding them.
This representation belongs to a transitional phase of Attic vase painting, dating to the end of 8th-beginning of 7th cent. BC. It was a period when Athenian painters began to abandon the austere geometry and stylization of the previous centuries, gradually adopting a freer and more naturalistic rendering of the figures.
Here, the vase-painter depicts the horses with their mouth open, possibly to avoid the static poses and immobility typical of earlier artworks and achieve a more lifelike depiction.
